If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it. You'll give her some of your favorite maple syrup. She'll probably get all sticky, and she will want to take a bath.
And so it goes, that the pancake begets a bath, and the bath begets tap shoes, building a tree house, hanging wallpaper IN the treehouse she build, and then that sticky wallpaper will remind her of what she originally wanted, a pancake!
I think that the book is spot-on regarding human nature, let me demonstrate....
If you give a woman a new pair of jeans, she will want a new blouse to go with it. She will search, and search, and then decide that the whole outfit would not be complete unless it had the proper shoes. She will find the cutest heels, darling jewelry, and then it will all sit in her closet because she can't wear ANY of it until she has lost 10 lbs, or at least reduced the size of her muffin top. And then she will cry to her husband 5 minutes within arriving from work, where he is utterly unprepared for such an emotional meltdown.
If you give a woman new furniture, then she will decide that she needs new curtains, because, now they certainly DO look drab and old. She will realize that its silly to hang new curtains without painting the room first, and once thats done, the carpet looks horrid and she can't enjoy her new couches because Better Homes and Gardens has convinced her thoroughly that it's just not right unless the floors are wood, anyway.
Sound familiar to anyone besides me? Why can't we just be happy with the pancake?

It is the nature of humans, we always what more. It's not the item we want but we think that if we get it then we will be happy but we are never happy. We must find the happiness inside us.
Kellie once again, you are so talented, you need to write a book
pancakes? I love pancakes. I am satisfied.
