The Bossy Duck

Samuel (as I was pulling the van into the driveway): "Home Sweet Home!"
- He told me that he learned that phrase from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  I don't doubt it.  He loves that show.



Me (in a super stern voice): "Samuel, you are being very bossy to your sisters right now and I want it to stop."
Samuel (with a smile and a little laugh): "Like the bossy duck!" (He fed the ducks with my Mom the other day and one of the ducks that they fed earned the title of bossy duck because of how bossed the other ducks around.)
Me (trying not to smile): "And did you like the bossy duck?"
Samuel (laughing harder): "Yeah!!"

Okay, never mind.  Forget that lesson.  But it did lighten the mood and stop him from bossing around his little sisters!
