So, imagine this:
You're in your driveway one weekend afternoon, washing your car, when some random dude walks up your driveway and into your house. Moments later, he comes out with your car keys, and hands you a piece of paper, gets in your car and drives away. As you stand there dumbfounded, you look at the piece of paper that you're holding and see that it's from some authority, say the federal government, and it gives the bearer permission to have a turn driving your car around town.
I think we'd all agree, that would be messed up. Is it any wonder, then, that kids have a problem sharing their toys? I'm trying to think up remedies. Maybe it would be a good idea to allow kids to have some set of favourites that they don't have to share, and the rest of the toys can be public property. It would probably help if they don't have as much crap as we do.

i'm not sure we can make analogies between adults and creatures whose brains (particularly frontal lobes) are not even close to being fully developed....
the idea you have sounds decent and i hope it works...just don't expect the problem to disappear. having trouble sharing is a problem for kids for reasons that are completely different than the one you describe for yourself and your newly cleaned car.
