Who's the boss?!

Here's the pecking order at my new home. It goes Uncle, me, Aunt Lori, and the Cuteness. I don't much like being second in command, but Uncle tells me I don't have a choice.

Tonight, before going to bed, I took Aunt Lori and the Cuteness out to the back yard. Everywhere I went the Cuteness followed. Aunt Lori laughed because the Cuteness was a little shadow, mimicking everything I did. How annoying.

When I was ready to go in I walked up to the door. Aunt Lori opened the door and I started to step through the door... but Aunt Lori stopped me! She then proceeded to enter the door herself before letting me inside!!! I sat down, very confused. The Cuteness sat behind me. I started to walk inside but stopped halfway in the door. This was a real dilema! If I enter second it means that Aunt Lori is the boss, but if I stayed outside I would get cold during the night!!! I sat there, half way and half-out of the door for fifteen seconds. What to do... What to do... How can I come out on top in this situation?! Finally, with the Cuteness nipping at my heels and Aunt and Uncle calling me inside, I lowered my head and entered. Who does Aunt Lori think she is? The Boss???

I'll set her straight later.
