Steve’s dessert box story ~1962
If you’re so full that you can’t finish your vegetables, how can you have room for dessert?

It’s not a problem it’s an opportunity
Moral: Reframe the problem with a good metaphor and some humor and you may get a different answer

Add to the Lima Beans story on culture, with Steve's Dessert Box story:
As a child Steve had trouble finishing his dinner, but he also had room for dessert.

Moral: There's always room to celebrate |
