Here is an exchange my daughter and I had last night.

Daughter: I want to watch Dora.
Me: Don’t you want to watch the game with me?

Daughter: No. I want to see Boots and Dora.
Me: We’ll have to do that later, the Lakers are coming on now.

Daughter: I am the princess and I make the rules.
Me: I am the king and this is my castle.

Daughter: Who tells the king what to do?
Me: Everyone.

Daughter: Everyone? But does the king have to listen?
Me: Nope, he is the king and he makes the rules.

Daughter: Ok daddy. I’ll watch the game with you.
Me: Thanks sweetheart.
