What's "the Boss"?

Molly: What are you cooking?
Me: Chicken
Molly: What kind of chicken?
Me: Just a whole chicken.
Molly: Oh! Maybe it's like "the boss"!

Who's "the boss"? It's more like what's "the boss"?

A year or so ago, Daddy Toddler was playing a game called Super Meat Boy. It's an homage to 8 bit arcade games featuring crazy hard levels and minimal graphics. Anyway, Molly was quite fascinated by it, and frequently built "Burmie Boy" out of Legos.

One day she came into the living room and told me she was going to scare me. She proceeded to whip out this:



Me: Um... Molly, that's not scary. That's a pretend turkey.
Molly: No mommy. It's a boss.
Me: A boss?
Molly: Yes. Like in Burmie Boy.

I think she was talking about this guy:


I guess I can see it. After that day (for the last year or so) when she wants to try to scare us, she brings out the boss. It's a hilarious Molly specific thing :-)
