Many of us likely remember being children and getting those animal crackers that come in a box that looks like a circus cage. Perhaps we've had teachers who, one day, bring in a box of these animal crackers. Immediately we, all the children, begin making pleas for which animal we want. "I want an elephant!" "I want a tiger" "I want a giraffe!". Inevitably one too many children asks for an elephant and the teacher has to say, "I'm sorry, there are no more elephants, how about a tiger instead?" The child stamps their foot in disappointment, pouting and saying, "But I want an elephant".
In times like these, when we feel the disappointment of not getting what we want and think we need, just remember...it's all graham crackers! Whether it's an elephant or a tiger, both taste the same in the end.
