Putting Dadda In His Place

Heidi Anne now has ballet class every Wednesday for nearly an hour and it ends between 4:00 ~ 4:10. Thus she has been coming to work with me for the last hour, since it doesn't make sense to take her back to daycare and it would eat up another 15 minutes.
I bring her in, set her up on the laptop, that way she can "work" with me. She either watches a movie or plays an educational computer game that she got for Christmas. To top it all off she gets Sprite. Oh yeah, the high life. We decided since we work in the same office to trade weeks that Heidi Anne sits with us. This week was the first week we tried this.
We get in the office, I let Char know we're back, I get her a Sprite, and return to laughter. Apparently, as soon as Char came in to get her she told him "No Daddy! Go back downstairs and Work!" She wanted to stay with me and my team. I am sure that the candy on my desk as a birthday surprise had no influence on her whatsoever.
Finally, with the help of some treats, he got her to go with him, where she played her game to her hearts content. It's nice to know who she thinks is funnier to be with at work. The fact that she gets spoiled by my friends and co-workers doesn't hurt either. ;D
The next day we picked her up from daycare where we learned she had shared a wonderful insight to our daily life. She has this tendency lately to have an odd spin on our home life-so we were prepared for the worst.
This revelation came out while she was playing "House" with some of her friends (just normal House-not the Fox's Doctor version). She was assigning roles for her friends and told the boy that was the "Dadda" how daddy's should act.
She informed the boy "You're the Dadda, so that means you Work, (insert internal groan), Sleep (this is when we went Oh Dear),  and spend LOTS of Time with ME(Mixture of Ahhh sweet and sigh of relief!).
