Thanks for the comment. I also would not have cared if the cookies ran together and that would been an option if it would have played out that way. I tried to tell the story how it went. I really wanted them to see what the other was thinking. It sort of came to that natural conclusion. Honestly, I was just relieved that they stopped bickering.
To me, G was disappointed and annoyed but he did walk away with the idea that he takes almost everything as a criticism. B was reminded that he needs to tread softly around his brother. It is really just another day in the life of siblings. But I will keep your comment in mind in the future!!!

And G did NOT get to do it his own way and probably just did it to get everyone to leave him alone. He said he doesn’t care how they look. I would have rather seen him do it his way and see for himself that they would run together while baking. then he can decide if he wants to take the advice into consideration for the future.

B won. G lost. If I were G, I’d be feeling unvalidated and resentful that no one thinks I can do anything by myself.
