The synapses are firing away…
Kevin: Isaac you need to go potty and get in bed. Now.
Isaac: Why? I don’t want to. I don’t have to go potty. (pause) NO!
Kevin: Isaac I am the boss and I said, go potty and get in bed. It is 8:30!
Isaac: (hmphhhhh!)You’re not the boss! (he then trots away and goes potty and gets in bed)
Cut to the next day….
Me: Isaac, how was your day? Did you have a good day?
Isaac: I saw a workerman today. He was working. I don’t want to be a workerman anymore when I grow up.
Me: Oh yeah? What do you want to be?
Isaac: The boss.
Well done, my son.
