Rockstar: Mum. All the mums (I see in school) are a little bossy, you know. <Thoughtful pause> And the dads less so.
Me: Oh really. You don’t sound surprised.
Rockstar: <seriously> No…
Me: So you’re saying Mummy is bossy and Daddy is not.
Rockstar: <looks away> Nooo, I’m not saying that.
Me: Oh come on, so politically correct (Rockstar laughs cautiously). It’s obvious you think Mummy is bossier than Daddy.
Rockstar: Hee. Yeah. Why is that?
And this random pic is titled…
Yes. Hamster Face Does Travolta Impersonation. Or, I Don’t Know Who’s Photobombing Whom
ps: My answer was How much do you see Daddy? When Daddy comes home from work on school nights it’s your bedtime. He’s not going to be telling you to finish your dinner or practice your school reader. The parent in charge of enforcing The Rules is the one who’s around often enough to catch you breaking them (he laughed). And it’s not always the mum though yes, there are more mums doing that than dads…
Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you, Aileen!
I only know the word bossy when I was much older when someone called me that – hhmmphh! Wow, Rockstar knows the phrase “politically correct” too. I am impressed!
So what did Rockstar say to your answer?
I think Miss Rockstar is the one photobombing. She looks to be concentrating hard on something (being truck driver?) and did not notice that she was photobombing her brother, hehehe.
He didn’t say much re my answer, pretty much accepted it with “Oh yeah” or something… not sure he knows exactly what “politically correct” means i.e. not a phrase he can reuse on us, but he certainly understands that I mean he’s trying not annoy me/ get in trouble :D…
