It was about time she updated me with the order of precedence that has been already established..so in one of our daily status review meetings Nina Kumari spilled the beans..
N: Mommy, it's going to rain tomorrow..
M: Hmm...
N: Big rain drops mommy...you know what that means?
M: what?
N: no school tomorrow..for me and Jay and you and daddy
M: I still have to ask my manager to see if he is okay with vacation..
N: You mean Daddy?
M: Hmm??
N: Yes, your manager - Daddy?
M: No, Daddy is not my manager..
N: Yes, he IS ..Daddy is your boss, you are Jay's boss and Jay is my boss..okke?
I mean I admit there might have been incidents that might have given my very own kids a wrong impression about who might be the boss, but all this while I thought I was teaching them who is assigned what kind of work..like for example-
J: Mommy, chair is broken..
M: Let's wait for daddy. He is strong.
J: Mommy, can we buy the Ninjago spinner on Amazon?
M: Let's talk to Daddy and then decide.
J & N (Screaming): Mommy, we see a bug..we see a bug..
M: Daddy will be home in 10 minutes..the bug is crawling slowly..I am sure the bug can wait..
Do you see where I was going with this? But alas..I digged a hole for myself..I finally understood what goes around comes around..I now know the meaning of boomerang...you get the point..
But gotta say boss, nice try! Now that I think about it, I see a direct connection of this line of thinking with 7 straight days the kids spent with you at home on vacation while I was praising you for being the best stay at home daddy in the world...But you know me and I know this game very well..Soon the ball will be in your court, Boss!!
