My kid

If I tell you where to go 
and you tell me “I said no” 
then I’d think that you’ll be 
just as hard-headed as me. 

I know where I should go 
I know what I should do 
I know when to do things 
I know how to do everything 

So, 

If I tell you what to do 
and you tell me “I have the flu” 
then I’d know that you are fake.
Are you the kid that I did make?
