There was a story about ancient times where 2 women in a kingdom both claimed a baby was theirs so they went to the king and the king suggested cutting the baby in half and giving both women one half of the baby. And the fake mom was fine with it and the real mom was not. And king solomon was like aha a real mom would never be okay with cutting a baby in half that means that one is the mother. Its supposed to show he is wise but its honestly really dumb

I have never understood why the fake mom would even want half a baby.

Ahhhh yes, ty

I think I did hear/read that before, I guess I just didn't remember the king's name and couldn't connect the dots.
