It's Good to be Pharaoh

If you'd looked in our backyard today, this was the scenes: the kids were doing menial tasks like scrub down the slide and little playhouse while I yelled that they need to work faster or be forced to eat worms for dinner and sleep on rocks.

A reason to call DCFS?

No. It's our new game.

I'm pharaoh and they're my slaves.

PC? No. (And no, I wouldn't be caught dead playing antebellum South this way. Medieval serfs and lord of the manor, surely). Anti-semitic? Not the way we're playing (they aren't Jewish slaves. Just random Egyptian slaves. And the Egyptians had slaves from all over).

Though, they did get the idea from the Bible.

But only because they confused Passover with Rosh Hashanah in our discussion today.
