1. We are at Nordstrom’s and I tell Ben we are going to buy some stuff for daddy. Of course, we end up in the women’s shoe department first. I pick out a cute pair for myself and ask him what he thinks. With the most worried and confused look on his face he shouts "No Mom, put them back. Daddy will NOT like those!"
2. Ben is walking upstairs to his playroom and I said "Have fun playing cars," and he says "Ok mom, have fun playing your phone.”
3. I put Ben in time out (thank god for washable crayons and markers!) and after a minute or two he points to our wedding picture and says "Mommy, I didn't know you were a princess!" Of course that got him out of time out...little sweet talker!
4. Ben says “Mom, Is there a baby bird in there?” as I am about to bite into a hardboiled egg. Yuck. I don’t think I will be eating eggs again for a while.
5. I took Ben to the bank to open his savings account and when we were done the lady said "Ben, is there anything else I can do for you?" And he said, "Yeah, I need more money for my bank account."
6. One week after I dropped my new iphone, cracked the back of it, got a cover to hide the evidence, and was sure little Ben wasn’t going to blow my cover, I overhear him telling daddy “And we were at the park and mommy dropped her phone and it went CRACK! See Dad, you can see the crack right there.” Tattle tale.
7. I was feeling a little lazy so when I got a request for "breakfast for dinner" I made a big plate of toast. Ben is sitting at the table eating when he starts waving his piece of toast in baby Emma's face saying "Look Emma, it's pizza." I said, "That's not pizza, that's toast," and he said, "I know mom. I am just pretending you made real dinner."
8. "Mom, Can I have another donut? I am going to save the rest of this one for Grandma and Grandpa."
9. We were doing an advent devotional for Christmas and at the end of the lesson I asked Ben "Will you follow God like Mary and Joseph did?" "No," he said. "Why not?" I asked. "I just want to stay home today mom."
10. "Grandpa, can you please catch my cold so it doesn't fall on Emma?"
