The Pecking Order, Defined

Daddy: “Michael, I need you to put your jammies on. It’s almost bedtime.”

Michael: “All right, all right. I’ll listen to your words and do it.”

Daddy: “I’m really glad to hear you say that. That makes me happy to know you’re listening.”

Michael: “…because you’re the boss of me.”

Daddy: “That’s right, I am.”

Michael: “…and Mommy is the boss of you.”

    Smartest kid ever. It took me all my life to figure that out.

    Well spoken, Michael!

    (MD) He’ll get it straight some day.

    I love Michael. He tells it how it is.

    I’d like to see a meeting of the minds between Michael and Momo’s son. Now THAT would be entertaining! :)

    (MD) Ho, boy. Nobody would come out unscathed with that duo.

    My kids say the same thing. Sigh.

    (MD) What happened to dad being the king?
