Power Struggle

Background: Naomi is finished w/ lunch and is wandering around the living room and dining room. Rachel is still sitting at the table eating her lunch (at a very, shall we say, leisurely pace).

Rachel: Naomi Kelly, come here, RIGHT now!

Me: Rachel, do not talk to your sister that way. You are not in authority over her. Mommy and Daddy are in authority over you and Naomi.

Pause

Rachel: (in a very sweet tone) Naomi, can you come here, please?

Naomi: ummmmmmmm. noooooooooo.

Rachel: Sigh.
