(Doug is working from home today, we normally don't see him in the mornings.)
Doug says something sarcastically to me, which Michael doesn't quite understand, "Dad me nice to Mom. Mom, that wasn't nice, right? That was sassy?" (On another note, "Mom?" "Dad?" What is he, 12?)
"Michal, Daddy was just kidding, it's ok."
"No that wasn't nice, when I'm not nice I get in trouble."
"Well, that's true, but Daddy wasn't not being nice. And you can't tell Daddy what to do."
"Only you can."

Hilarious! What a smart kiddo.
I had a reverse situation a few days ago when my husband and I were discussing where he was going to install our new track lighting in our den. He was asking me where I wanted it and I was directing him how I’d like it configured…. My son (age 5) was in the room and said “She’s not your boss, dad”. I have some work to do…
That’s riiight. Only me.
Ahhhh, you’ve taught the child well.
Tom: You’re not the boss of me.
Dory: Really?
Tom: No. Wouldn’t it be trippy if it was like that, though? *grins*
Josh corrects me all the time.
Daddy, your not supposed to throw a ball in the house.
I tell him – Your right Joshua, Daddy made a mistake…
