This unfortunate event happened to me when my two children were little. Each of them had a friend over for lunch. After lunch, we had popsicles for dessert. There were 9 popsicles in the freezer and 3 flavors: 3 blueberry, 3 strawberry, and 3 watermelon. What is the probability that each child will get the popsicle that the child wants? (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
