Authority trifecta
Here was the conversation last night when I was putting Martin to bed:
Martin: Momma, if the Cat in the Hat came here I would kick him. I would throw toys at Two Things.
Me: Oh, I don't think you would need to do that. No kicking or throwing toys, remember?
Martin: Would daddy come in here?
Me: No, I don't think so.
Martin: Would Santa see it?
Me: I guess.
Martin: Would God?
Me: I guess he would.
Martin: Oh.
So, there you have it. The big three chain of authority according to Martin: daddy, Santa and God. I guess I don't really come into play here, but maybe I don't have to with threat The Big Three always looming in his mind.
