Spread the pink

I wonder how many little ways of adapting we've absorbed in that never-ending effort for ease and peace in the family, such as...

We never put the pink lids on the pink sippy cups. In fact, we don't mate any color lid to it's sippy cup of identical color, but the only color of any consequence in the matter is pink. This enables up to double the spread of pink amongst the sippy cup community, because pink, of course, is the most highly sought shade of drinking vessel.

Woe to the poor babysitter who mates a pink lid to a pink cup without a second duplicate cup to offer the other child!

Or the library routine that I've developed to maintain civility when entering and exiting our two story local library. Upon entering, one child gets to choose the elevator or the stairs (lately, it's been almost exclusively the elevator), and when we're ready to leave, the other child chooses. For the elevator, they split the button pushing.
