Decision Making Made Simple



You are babysitting your nieces.


Your sister gives you detailed instructions with one exception.
When it's time for snacks, you get out the cookies & milk
Your one niece says, "I can't drink milk. I get sick."

Is she telling the truth or telling stories?
What do you do?    
View the chart.

 










If she doesn't drink the milk & she's telling stories,
No problem


If she doesn't drink the milk & she's telling the truth,
No problem


If she drinks the milk & she's telling stories,
No problem


If she drinks the milk & she's telling the truth,
Big Problem

By not drinking the milk, there is no problem.


However, by drinking the milk, you have a
50/50 chance of a Big Problem.

The decision: She doesn't drink the milk

When you check with your sister, she tells you
"She makes up stories about the milk making her sick."

Missing a glass of milk is no big deal


Regards,


Slim.
