What's fair? And what's unfair...

What's fair? And what's unfair? As children, we seemed to think that life should be fair. We expected our teacher to treat us the same way she treated our best friend the year before, especially if our best friend was the teacher's pet. We wanted to get the same punishment that our sister got, if her punishment was light. We counted presents under the Christmas tree and felt cheated if we didn't have just as many presents as our brothers and sisters. We resented our parents' lenient new curfew when our little brother started driving and dating.
