CHAIN OF COMMAND
--
T1 had a question.
"Is D's bedtime sometimes before ours?"
"No," I said. "His is after yours."
"But he is in bed now," T1 said.
"Sometimes he goes up early to his own room, but not to bed," I said. "He stays up and plays on the computer, or watches tv."
"Is he allowed to do that?" T1 asked.
"Yes," I said. "I guess."
T1 pounced on my carelessly indecisive answer.
"So," she said. "It's really Mommy that is in charge. And you are only in charge when Mommy is not here. Is that right?"
"I guess," I said.
