Decision-Making

We're a pretty gender-neutral household as far as gender roles are concerned. Chris does most of the cooking, for example, because I work in the evenings and he's a better cook than I am anyway! And as for cleaning, whoever gets to it first does it. Handling the boys? Whoever isn't working at a given time does it. We're definitely not a patriarchy...more an oligarchy. So this exchange with Theo puzzled me:

Theo: Daddy makes the decisions in this house!
Me: Um...sometimes. And sometimes Mommy does. Actually, Mommy makes quite a few of the decisions.
Theo: That's good, Mommy. Because you're pretty smart.

I'm not sure whether to be flattered that he thinks I'm intelligent or appalled that his initial impression was of me as the "little woman!"
