Jackson (J2): Eat your dinner, Jeremy.
Jeremy (J1): Jackson, would you please not be the boss of me?
J2: What?
J1: Please don’t tell me what to do.
J2: Stop it.
J1: You stop, Jack. You’re not the boss of me.
J2: Yes I am.
J1: No you’re not.
J2: Eat your dinner, Jeremy.
J1: Stop it.
J2: I don’t want to.
J1: Sigh… Stop it, Jackson!
J2: I not Jackson. I Alice in Wunner-land.
J1: Well you’re not the boss of me, AL-ICE!
J2: Okay.
We all continue to calmly eat, until…
J2: Eat your dinner, Mom.
Me: You’re not the boss of me.
