Today, to celebrate Sinterklaas (something akin to Santa), one of my husbands coworker who dresses up and visits kids did a videocall for our kid. This guy has a naughty streak (getting the wives to come sit on his lap, too). So during the call, 'Sinterklaas' asked who was the boss at our house, mommy or daddy. Expecting the answer to be "mommy", as most kids mention their primary caregiver. Our little boy said "ofcourse daddy is the boss of mommy and me and the baby".

A minor thing. But my husband loved it.

He wouldn't have been bothered by some good-natured teasing at work if the answer had been "mommy". He's not uptight about these things at all. But this made him happy and was meaningful to him :-) It surprised me, because he usually doesn't care in the slightest what other people think.

Just thought I'd share and ask if anyone has similar stories? :-)
