"Mom, I'm in charge when my teacher leaves the classroom," Aidan declares with serious eyes over dinner.
"Aidan, I know you like to be in charge and stuff, but you really can't just boss your classmates around the minute the teacher leaves the room. Okay?" I say in my best 'I love you even though you're bossy' voice.
"No, Mom. Really. I'm in charge."
"What?"
"The teacher said so. When she has to leave, I'm in charge. Isn't that great?" He laughs and throws me a huge grin.
"Well, what do you do when she leaves the room?"
"I watch everyone. And no one is allowed to get up from their seats. I watch them to make sure. And they don't get up because they know I'm watching them." He shoots me a smile full of self congratulations.
Oh dear lord, does this teacher have any idea of the Pandora's box she has just opened? Give this kid a little power and he may soon be staging a kindergarten coup. She knows not what she does.
