Deep in a conversation with O yesterday she happened to mention that "daddy is the boss."
"Oh yeah?" I asked her. "Why's that?"
"Because he's a man," she replied.
To which I thought "Oh hell no!" That is not the kind of house we run around here and that is certainly not the kind of message that I want passed on to any little girl. Honestly, I don't know how she came up with this conclusion considering that Ben and I share just about every job in this house and usually work things out in a pretty fair and even manner.
All I know, that there's going to be a whole lot more "girl power" going on around here in the near future.
damn the man!
ReplyDeleteargh! get the spice girls on the case, stat! zigazig AAH!
ReplyDeleteHeh, I wonder where she got that from? By the looks of that picture, I don't think she'd take a heck of a lot of 'bossing' from anyone, anyway!
ReplyDeleteha! that's so funny. who knows where they come up with any of the ridiculous things they say! sounds like lila, who when i told her our female neighbor wasn't home from work yet, said, "What? Girls don't go to work!" - so yeah, we might need some girl power over here, too :)
ReplyDeleteUh-oh! Just goes to show ya, still a man's world, dang it! I've been doing my part to change that, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I don't think I was ever in any doubt about who wore the trousers in our house, and it wasn't my dad ;o)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Kids come up with the oddest things sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI'll do my part by reminding my men that a penis does not a boss make! Girl power!
ReplyDeleteShe is young - what a great time to reinforce that she can be anything she wants to be including the "boss".
