Strawberry Shortcake, Arguments and the Internet

I heard the pounding of feet, two running away, the other two chasing after. And then yelling, "I wanna be Strawberry Shortcake!" "No, I get to be Strawberry Shortcake!" And on and on. I asked them to stop. They didn't comply. I TOLD them to stop and suddenly there was a girl on each side of me. "She wants to be Strawberry Shortcake. But I want to be Strawberry Shortcake because I want my pony's name to be Honey Pie!" "Why can't you take turns?" "We don't know the other pony's names."

So being the wife of "the research king", I thought I might have a solution. I googled "Strawberry Shortcake ponies" and came up with a comprehensive list of the characters and their fillies. After reading through the list, one child walked away as Angel Cake whose filly was Milkshake, and the other child wanted to be Lemon Meringue because her filly's name is Daffodil. How is it that neither wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake anymore?


I wish every argument was this easy to solve.
