Daddy left early this morning to celebrate Uncle T’s bachelor party. Before Daddy left he told John that he would be “the man of the house” while Daddy was away. I woke up John this morning and told him that I needed him to help me. He quickly responses “Cause I’m the man of the house!” He got dressed quickly and asked “do we have to go to school today?” I explained to him that yes we have to go to school and I had to go to work. “But I’m the man of the house today. It’s not going to be fun if I can’t stay home!”

The kids ate breakfast and I told John that we needed to stop and get gas. He said “I knew that already. Cause I’m the man of the house. Let’s take your car today and you can drive cause I’m too little.”

John made two pictures today for Flag Day. He asked me “Can we hang up this picture?” I told him of course and that we would hang it up in the kitchen. He said “I’ll decide where we should hang it up. I’m the man of the house. That means I get to pick where we hang it.”
