Grace (5): Why do I always have to do what you say?
Dada: 'Cause I'm the dad, that's why.
Grace: You're not just my dad, you're my brother.
Dada: I'm not your brother.
Grace: You're my brother in Christ.
(When I was able to stop laughing, I complimented her on her theology. And then reminded her that she still had to do what I say, even if I am her brother in Christ.)

BTW, the older they get, the more clever their reasons for NOT doing what you say. And from the sounds of it, her reasons are a couple of years past where she should be for her age, so you might be in for some real trouble :)

If I really wanted to teach her something, I would let her know about disciples submitting to community and serving one another, which means that she should do what I say precisely because I'm her brother in Christ.
But I didn't do that.
