Mr. Thinko and his wife Commanda
Plus their ninety kids
This is the
story of a huge family, the dad, Mr.Thiko, the thinking man, and the mom, Mrs.
Commanda, the demanding woman.
Together,
they have ninety kids. Forty sons ‘’thinking skills’’, who are just like their
father, keep working all the time to accomplish the never-ending requests of
their fifty sisters, who are just like their mother, nagging all the time.
The ladies
are always asking for things to be done, describing this, commenting on that,
comparing and contrasting these two things, and the list is so long. Fifty
types of requests make it very clear for the brain, their village, to function
properly all the time. The working guys know exactly what to do whenever they get
an order from one of the ladies, so they just finish the task as it should be
done.
Each
daughter can only request only one specific thing. She gets the name of this
request. An example is the request ‘’Discuss’’, where the daughter is asking
for opposing points of view concerning a topic, with evidence for each. So Miss
‘’Discuss’’ is one of the fifty ‘’command terms’’ that are the nagging sisters.
On the other
hand, the forty sons are all equipped with tools that help them do the work
efficiently. The ‘’consider all factors’’ guy is always there to help Miss
‘’Discuss’’. He has rays like the sun that he uses to lighten all the sides to
see what is in there. With the help of his brother, ‘’understanding points of
view’’ they can do a good debate about any topic fulfilling what Miss
‘’Discuss’’ has asked for.
Therefore,
they usually work in small groups, with two or a few brothers and sisters
together. The daughters ‘’command terms’’ request, and the sons ‘’thinking
skills’’ perform.
The rules
are written on the walls of the houses inside the village. Which sons work with
which daughters, the type of request each daughter has, and the task the son
has to do to achieve the needed outcome.
Each of the
ninety kids has a different character with unique features that make his/her
identity.
Together,
they make a very happy family living in harmony.
