They Told Daddy How High To Jump

Six ginger haired daughters told their daddy how high to jump He was the boss of a large company. His employees would have been laughing their teeth out If they had known. Never bring them to the office, he cautioned their mother. She knew better, so she never did. And it worked for them. He had photos of his girls, but they were never to show up in person. His wife came to company picnics, but the children stayed at home. Where they were giving orders to their babysitter. Telling her how high to jump and what direction. Bossy apples do not fall far from the tree.
