Nicholas and the bossy girl

Nicholas has been fretting about a girl at school called Lucy. One day I asked him who he liked in his class (a huge class size of seven!), and he said "I don't like Lucy."

"Why not?" I asked.

"She tells me not to sing so loud!" He responded.

Apparently they also get into power struggles over a little Scooby Doo mystery machine car, which they both love.

Today, the stakes went higher.

"I'm going to write Lucy a letter," said Nicholas.

"Oh really?" asked Mike.

"I'm going to tell her to stop telling me what to do!" he said.

Mike asked, "Will you sign it 'Love, Nicholas'"?

"No, Dad!"
