Situation: the Stoned Golem and Take Me! Take Me!

In a game we were playing last night my son kicked open the door to find a Stoned Golem. He couldn't defeat the Golem on his own. While he was considering asking for help, I played the Take Me! Take Me! card. My strength alone would have easily defeated the monster. At that point my son decided he wanted to wave and walk past. I wanted to attack the monster, but everyone else playing seemed to think that my son's decision to walk overrode my desire to attack. It was my wife's contention that the monster "belonged" to my son since it was his combat and therefore his choice to do what he wanted. My contention was that, sure, he could wave, but I should still be able to attack.

Now, the interesting part here is that I was a level 9 Elf. So, by defeating the Golem I would have won the game. Needless to say, a heated argument ensued. I was out-voted. Who was right, though? Does the player whose combat it is have some kind of "ownership" or executive decision ability?
