Meet Your Future Boss

I think my daughter might have a future in management.  She has her delegation skills down pat.  True story:

Yesterday while she was napping I picked up all her toys except in the bedroom.  When she got up she was hungry and asked for a snack.  I told her that she could have a snack, but that Mommy had just picked up her toys, and that first she could help by picking up the Elmo toy on the floor of the bedroom.  After that, the chore would be all done, and she could have her snack. 

"No, Mommy do it." she said while pointing at the toy, basically meaning "do it yourself woman."  I explained that she needed to help pick up her toys as I was her mommy and not her slave.  I left the room and told her that when it was picked up she could have her snack.  A few minutes later she found me in the kitchen and again asked for the snack.  "Did you pick up your toy?" I asked.  "Yeah, Daddy." she giggled and ran off to show me that the toy was indeed picked up.  I asked CJ if he had picked up her Elmo toy.  "Yeah, she asked me to" he said.  Wow.  She got Daddy to do it for her.  Way to delegate an unpleasant task. 

I was actually kind of proud of her so I told CJ he had been used and gave her the snack.
