The Little Boss
Yesterday, Evangeline told Nevin to do something. I don’t remember what it was. But the conversation that ensued was quite telling about Evangeline’s self-image. After hearing Evangeline’s command, Nevin replied, “You’re not the boss. Mommy’s the boss.”
Evangeline said, “But I’m the little boss.”
And I’ll bet she managed to pull that off without getting any self-esteem training from you, eh? Funny story!
