I am no longer The Boss.

(If she looks a little confused, she is. We never use the comb. I think she thought I was joking when I said, "It goes in your hair. Like this!")

This morning:
I am in bed, sleeping soundly. Tim has gotten Audrey out of bed and plopped her next to me. I feel her lean in near my face.

Audrey: Mommmmmma! (Pause.) Mommmmmmmmmy!
Me: Uh-huh? (Eyes still closed.)
Audrey: No. No say uh-huh. Say, "Yes, Audrey."
Me: (Laughing inside.)
Audrey: Mommmmma! (Pause.) Mommmmmmmmmmmmma!
Me: Yes, Audrey.
Audrey: Get up Momma. Get clothes on Momma. Get up now!

There is a new Boss in the house. The battle for power begins. I hope I have the strength.

Happy Birthday to the Funniest Man in the World aka my hubba hubba. He stayed home today. Yay!
