Moral conundrum

14 Jul 2009

Not anything to do with swinging but I think if you post an answer tothis question it will tell everybody a lot about you.
You have a flute and must give it to one of three children.
Child A says that they are the only one who can play the flute and therefore would be able to use it to greater effect than the others.
Child B says that they have no other toys and the flute would give them something to play with.
Child C says that as they made the flute they should have it.
Who do you give the flute to and why?

B.
Child A can play the flute and so must have had experience of one before. If child C made the flute, they too must have experienced it, and could make another.
So does that make me a bad parent? I don't care what you've heard.... it'll never stand up in court! mad

:lol2:

B and thank god it wasnt a recorder

child C......if they had bothered and made the effort to make it....they should have it.
If A or B want one they can either make their own..or pay C to make another for them.

Child C should give the flute to child A who can then teach B how to play it

i would sell the flute and buy them an ocarina each.

There is no Flute...

are these child(s) in the same family?
Can they share?
throw it in the air and let them fight for it... character forming, and the flute gets broken... result!

child A
child C can obviously make another one, and has a talent for woodwork that probably excedes his musical talent
child B can be entertained by child A (viceversa is not possible)..learn something about music and maybe borrow the flute from him.
also, that way the flute will be put to proper use, without causing screeching noises (children can pursue making chaotic noise for no purpose at all for hours)
