He’s a legend in his own mind.

Why kid has ever kept a secret?

Nelson learns an phenomenally important lesson today.

He may be the boss, but he has got nothing to do with the management.

A “Puppet Ruler”.

There’s a saying about the kitchen being the heart of the home. So whoever controls the kitchen controls the house…

Grandpa is more like a secret overlord.

It’s an anarchist collective.

what kid has ever ask “who’s the boss of the house?”

He’s the boss when grandma isn’t home. :)

The truth is revealed.

“The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.” ― Nia Vardalos

He is the boss, only when Opal is not around!

Its hard being the boss – you have to know how to delegate… now I need to go wash those dishes…

Go listen to “The Man Song” by Sean Morey

Gag I heard long ago: I know I’m the head of the household cause my wife told me that.

He’s the head, but she’s the neck that turns him.

Sometimes the “official boss” is just a figurehead.

Unfortunately, as the “official boss”, the figurehead will end up getting or taking the blame for anything that goes wrong.

He’s the Grand Imperial Poohbah of the house.

He likes to think he is El gran jefe

My Daddy was 11 months older than my Mother. Daddy would say for that one month they were the same age, that he let Mother be boss. As adults, we always thought it was cute, because we knew who was boss all year long! LOL They were married in 1936, so this went back to when women “stayed home and did what they were told”! HA!! I miss them both so much.

he may be the man of the house, but Opal is the boss in the house. :j

the man is the HEAD of the house! But, the WOMAN is the NECK…and the neck makes that head turn AAANNNY way it wants to!

That sounds VAGUELY familiar

In my house, I do whatever I want. In my house, I am THE BOSS. Whatever I say is FINAL. I just have to check with my wife, first…

He’s in charge, but she has veto power over everything.

It’s a incorporated Partnership … Like arsenic and old lace.

Earl has to remember that “the only thing to fear is fear itself”.

He may be in charge of the head, but she controls the shaft.

And Grandma tells him the same thing!

Earl speaks the truth….and at the same time covers his butt….just incase Nelson felt he had to tell Opal what he said. LOL

Kind of an old joke today.

It’s my wife’s house, I just get to live here…

I’m the boss in this house and I have my wife’s permission to say so

EXACTLY!!!

The chief, the king, and all that jazz.

I wear shorts all day, my wife wears the pants. And she wears them well.

He’s channeling Ed Norton (the great Art Carney) in The Honeymooners episode, “Head of the House.”

An older man was asked why their 50+ year marriage was successful, and he said:“When we got married, we agreed that I got to make all of the big decisions. So far, there haven’t been any.”
