That was always the rule. One person splits it and the other picks which half they want.

My mom tried to teach this lesson to my older brother and I. Brother was tasked with splitting the last of the ice cream between two bowls, naturally one gets way more than the other. Before he walks away, mom asks "okay Khiash, which bowl do you want?"

Brother was shocked that he was bamboozled. I think, if I were in his position I'd be pissed if I got the lesser amount of ice cream, and I don't want to invoke his wrath.

I'll take the smaller one.

Are you sure, Khiash?

Yeah.

Brother walks off with a shit eating grin like he won.

My brother was always quicker to say "you cut, I pick", so he got more because I wasn't capable of dividing the dessert in precise halves.

I'm the younger brother as well and when it came to food there was no backing down.

Fear is a compelling factor. Now that I'm older, wiser, and considerably fatter he knows he can't get away with that again.

He also has a 6yo son who eats as much as he does, so lol, lmao even.

I was the skinny kid that would never stop moving and ate more than they did. They could beat me in a fight but not without an effort and I had more energy than them.
