Nice day out in North Berwick with an old friend of Sophia's. We played in the play park, had ice cream on the beach, and they took it in turns climbing on to this.

Lovely landscape, and that looks like a lot of fun!

[andrewducker]

They enjoyed themselves a lot!

Sadly, there was a lot of cold wind. We'll have to go back when there isn't.

If you pull it out then you can be the one true king.

Sounds like a lot of effort.

I bet the pay is lousy too.

[mountainkiss]

You can apply all the tariffs you want though

[andrewducker]

If only that number wasn't zero!

[mountainkiss]

Then you can't complain about the pay

[andrewducker]

I'd like to see you stop me!

[mountainkiss]

Fair

[andrewducker]

That was the line Sophia took last time I told her she couldn't complain about something.

Authoritarian regimes ftw.

It went something like:
Sophia: My leg hurts.
Me: I'm sorry, shall I get you some painkillers?
Sophia: No!
Me: You don't get to complain then.
Sophia: You can't stop me!

Democratic regimes ftw

I like to think of us as a communitarian libertarian dictatorship.

The parents set the rules. Anything not forbidden is allowed. And we're all in it together.

Communitarian libertarian dictatorships ftw.

The tricky bit is ensuring that in about a decade there's a revolution and that the proletariat are ready for the job of ruling themselves.
