A Conversation with the Child Dictator

This is a real conversation I had with someone today.
The roles are myself (Mr. S) and the Child Dictator (C.D.) (5-6 years old)

Previous to this point- C.D. treated another person unfairly and suffered the consequences. Simmering after having been blatantly punished, he begins verbal jousting with Mr. S...

C.D.- Mr. S, you need to apologize.

Mr. S.- Oh really? What for?

C.D.- You should have let me play the xylophone.

Mr. S.- You made some bad choices, and you weren't able to play the xylophone today. Make better choices next time and you will.

C.D.- I'm the strongest world leader...

Mr. S.- What?

C.D.- You should let me play the xylophone because I'm the strongest world leader and I have anger powers. Say you're sorry.

Mr. S.- (pause for comprehension... attempt abandoned)... nope!

C.D.- (consternation) You made "___________" cry. You say you're sorry.

Mr. S.- He also made some bad choices today. You were both punished. Get in line and deal with it.

A few minutes later their schedules would separate them, but as C.D. departed he offered this gem;

C.D.- God is King of the Earth!


You know, I think I was disagreeing with him up until that last point; I think we found some common ground. I can only look forward to the next time that I, Master of the Air People, might work on an alliance with the "Strongest World Leader". His anger powers would certainly be a boon to our forces in the war we desperately wage against the H'Ruuhm Shahhkz.

Until then, Child Dictator.
