Man of the House

Today I had the funniest conversation with Jackson during lunch and so I just had to share. It went a little something like this:

Jackson: Mom, do you remember a while ago when Dad said when he's gone I'm the "Man of the House."

Me: Yeah.

Jackson: Well, Dad's not here right now...so I guess I'm the "Man of the House" now.

(At this point Jackson has this huge smile plastered on his face!)

Me: Yup. Hey Jackson, did Dad also tell you that all "Men" of houses listen and do EVERYTHING that the "Woman of the House" asks them do to.

Jackson: No.

Me: And who's the Woman of this house Jackson.

Jackson: You are.

(He ate silently for a moment here!)

Jackson: Mom.

Me: Yeah Jackson.

Jackson: I don't want to be the "Man of the House" anymore.

I was laughing so hard I couldn't stop!! What a funny boy!!
