Who's the Boss

The things kids say

[graywolf]

So my two girls were playing with the little girl from next door, when we hear the ice cream truck. Figuring it's probably the last time we'll see him this year I going to treat everyone.

Me: Christina go ask your Mommy if I can buy you Ice Cream from the Ice Cream Truck.

Christina: My Mom's not home so I have to go ask my dad, cause he's the boss when my Mom's not home.

My Mom's not home so I have to go ask my dad, cause he's the boss when my Mom's not home.

What's so funny about that? Sounds like a well trained kid to me. ;)

Hey, my girls used to tell me to ring mum and ask!

Read this in Reader's Digest a long time ago:

Mommy was pregnant. When the four year old was asked if he wanted a baby brother or a baby sister, her replied, "I don't care as long as its wealthy."

Here's a variant.

When they become teens "the boss" is whomever they can count on to green light their proposed actions.

"But I asked mom/dad and she/he said it was okay!"

when my sister was little my parents got her one of theose doctor kits and she use to like to play with it. my mom was playing with her and said "Doctor, Doctor I'm dieing what do I do?"

My sister replied without missing a beat, "Quick write me a check."

She's now a lawyer.
