Who's the Boss

Jokingly, he said, "I'm the boss," 
"Because I make most of the money!"
She said, "We need a new dog leash,"
"And I see you want to be funny"

She said, "I fix most of our meals"
"That's not something to dismiss!"
He said, "Well, I do like to eat,"
"And oh, put dog food on the list"

She said, "I mail the checks for bills,"
"And make sure they cut the dogs hair!"
He said, "Yes, but I work with tools"
"I made that great dog house out there!"
 
If you gave your dog some water,
Did you put some ice in its drink?
Who's the boss of your family
You might want to give it a think!

That's the sweetest thing I ever saw - except my little one who is sleeping on my daughter's bed right now. She owns the place!
