Unfortunately, there was no way for me to bring this home to a boy who lives in a world full of bright and successful women, including his teacher, principal, doctors and even the governor. His parents both have female supervisors and so does he. That would be me.

In Corwin's eyes, I'm the primary authority figure. He could be sitting six feet away from his dad and he'll still get up to find me in another room to open a container, help him with his homework or answer a question, except, of course, if it deals with video games.

My second-in-command is his bossy little sister, whose powerful personality forces all of us to bend to her whims and wiles.

Uh-huh ... And he wonders why I support a girl's right to put boys in their place.
