What's a boss?

"Yes boss," said Mommy, in response to Sammy's insistent crying, a sign that he really wants to go to sleep now.

Pia hadn't heard of the word 'boss' before:

Pia: "What's a boss?"

Mommy: Ask Daddy.

Daddy: (trying to explain) Hmm...for people who work, a boss is someone who tells you what to do, just like for students, your teacher is your boss.

Pia: Someone who tells us what to do?

Daddy: Yes

Pia: They tell you what to do, like: "Finish your food!"
