The Boss

This morning (at 5:30am) Charlie crept into bed with me.  I do love a snuggle in the morning, but 5:30am is a bit early for one.  But he was there.  So.  He fidgeted and fidgeted, and then was still.  For a few moments.
And then he whispered,"Mummy."
"Mmmhmmm...?"
"When you not here and when Ti not here, then Daddy's the boss, right?  Right?"
"Yes."
And then he laid back and smiled smugly that he was right.
