How my 3 year old is like a dictator

My son is 3. He is adorable, if I do say so myself. He's smart and funny and extremely lovable. But... He is also not unlike a dictator.

Here are 10 reasons my son is like a dictator.

1. It's his way or he will make your life hell.

2. He utilizes tantrums like water torture to your soul.

3. He has concrete, ludicrous, thinking that makes sense only to him.

4. He thinks the world should be his tiny kingdom.

5. He believes that if he yells louder, you will do what he wants.

6. He enslaves those around him by making unrelenting demands.

7. He refuses to share ANYTHING EVER, so he hoards everything.

8. His propaganda is based on simple, barely mastered concepts.

9. Hitting and other forms of physical punishment are first and only solutions to problems.

10. His tantrums and other outrageous behavior too often works, despite our collective intelligence.
