Our Child: Successful Businessperson or Cult Leader? You Decide.
This morning while I was checking email, Christopher was writing on a piece of paper. As usual, he asked me how to spell certain words, and I told him without paying much attention even though today's words were "hypnotize" and "understand".
After he finished, he sprinted into our bedroom and then came back out to show me the paper:
My first question: Did you make Daddy sign this?
Christopher: Well, Daddy understands, all right, but he didn't want to sign so I signed it for him.
I laughed hysterically, provoking my son to scream "STOP LAUGHING". (This happens often around here.)
At this point, I'm thinking: not only does Christopher understand how business transactions work, he's well on his way to being a heavy. ("You sign these F-ing papers or I'll sign 'em for ya, see?")
So I went into our room where Frank was still in bed, and we had a good laugh over our strange, hilarious child.
When I came back out, I asked Christopher what he planned to do while hypmotizing his father.
His response: Well, first I'm going to take out everything he knows, and put it (looking around the room) in that can, and then I'm going to put in new stuff.
Uh. Ok......?
Cult leader, much?
I presume there will be an obligatory "tear you down and then build you back up" process involved as well.
Stay tuned. It appears he's working on my contract/waiver as I type this.
The good news is that the cult will probably be the "feed Christopher ice cream on demand" cult, not a more sinister one. But give him time. You know, power corrupts, etc, etc.

This made me cry.
