You're listening to the Family Discipleship Podcast, a podcast of Training the Church.

This is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my co-hosts, Mrs. Cassie Bryant and my wife,

Mrs. Chelsea Griffin, Cassie, something that you and Eric like to share.

What's something that you and Eric like to share? Do you know this just came up? This idea just came up.

Sharing idea. Came up on our spring break trip with friends. And they asked, have you shared that story on the podcast yet?

Ooh, let's hear it. And I was like, I don't know. Have I shared the story about us sharing desserts and how poorly it went early in marriage?

You might have. I don't think so. Anytime we would share a dessert. It's a little bit of a long story, so I feel like maybe we should. Was it an argument? Well, it was a public setting. Actually, it was at our home group and we were studying Ephesians and there was one piece of a dessert left.

And I asked anybody if they wanted it and nobody wanted it. And so the Eric was like, I'll share it with you. So I'm going to be very brief. I cut it with a spoon, which is not a straight edge, right? It's a curved edge. Cut with a spoon and I like scrape the outer part off to take the inner part and put it at my mouth and he goes, why do you get the bigger piece? This does not make

Eric look great, but. and I like scrape the outer part off to take the inner part and put it at my mouth. And he goes, why do you get the bigger piece?

This does not make Eric look great, but he had it coming.

But he's not here.

But he's not here to defend himself.

So I was like, oh, I'm sorry.

I'm going to take the bigger piece.

I like put the bigger, quote unquote, bigger piece down.

I eat the smaller piece.

We continue on in Ephesians. The bigger piece is still, the bigger piece is still sitting there. And then there's like residue on the spoon of the dessert. And so I like take my finger to like lick the residue off of the spin. Nice. And he goes, this is why I don't like sharing desserts with you. Oh no. To which I grabbed the bigger piece and put up my mouth and said, then don't. Wow. Everyone's so mature. Yeah, we were 24. Okay. So we've grown a lot since then. What a great quick comeback. Then don't. Yeah. I was like, well, I have lots of siblings. So I was used to quit, like, you know, revenge. So the running joke with our home group was they would drop off a cupcake and, like, doorbell and dash, you know, and be like, we just dropped off a dessert for y'all to share and fight about. They were going to teach y'all. And now we love to share dessert. That's great. Most of because we're like over 40 and you really shouldn't have a whole dessert to yourself anymore anyway. Yeah, not unless you're going to run five miles immediately afterwards. Did you guys ever watch the Bill Cosby show growing up? Probably not. Yeah, I didn't. Okay. There's something from that you reminded me of that has stuck in my head my whole life of like splitting desserts where they have one person cut the next person chooses. Yes. And it's stuck in

my head. I always like, I imagine that scene from the Cosby show of like, you cut it, I choose it. For our kids. That's smart. Probably. Yeah. It is smart. Or when you're splitting anything between two people like, I'll cut the pizza, you get the first slice. Like anything like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, the boys do that really well.

I thought,

I thought you thought of that.
