Ben decided that he wanted to bring out his blanket and have a picnic with me on the couch (we shared some of our imaginary food with Daddy as well) After we ate our meal, which consisted of a lot of watermelon, the subject turned to what some other things like to eat.
Ben: Ben kitty.
Me: oh Ben is a kitty, what does a kitty eat?
Ben: Kitty food.
Me: right kitty food.
Ben: I a turtle.
Me: You are a very nice turtle.
Ben: what turtle eat?
Me: Ummm lettuce and carrots.
Ben: Oh
Ben: Mama, what car eat?
Me: Ummm gas, I suppose. A car eats gas.
Ben: NO MAMA, silly. No eat gas.
Me: No really a car eats gas, that is what makes it go.
Ben: noooooo
Me: Then what does a car eat?
Ben: COOKIES!
We have entered the age of asking questions that mommy might not know the answer to! How long can I get away with just making stuff up? I'm pretty sure my dad STILL makes up most of the answers!

When Ben runs for President he is going to kill me
Ben got out of his bath and was standing dripping wet with a towel around his shoulders. The two cats, who are very kind to him and rarely even bat at him, are in the doorway to his room.
Me: Ben go meet me in your room and I'll put on your jammies.
Ben: No the kitties bite me.
Me: The kitties are fine honey.
Ben: The kitties bite my penis.
Me: *trying really really hard to keep my composure* What?
Ben: The kitties bite me. The kitties bite my penis off *chomp*
Me: *REALLY trying not to laugh* Honey, no the kitties will not bite your penis off.
Todd heard this conversation and walked up next to Ben, I turned around so Todd and I could make eye contact in the mirror. My face was beet red and my eyes were tearing up trying to keep my laughter in.
You can't let him see you think it is funny. To him this is a VERY serious thing. Getting his penis bitten off.
Oh my, oh my, where do they get these things?

We made it
Todd made it through his test, he survived with only a few scars. Now the waiting game begins. We won't know results until October!
We are frantically planning for our trip out west now. We leave in just a few days and I am completely unprepared! My in-laws are driving out to the wedding (and are making a vacation trip out of it) and will be by to pick up some of our things so that we don't have to bring them all on the airplane. I am trying to figure out which things to send with them and which things to pack with us. That means I have to PACK. UGH!
Ben is adjusting to having his daddy back. He is still wanting me to do everything for him but is slowly remembering that daddy can do those things too! And let me tell you I NEED daddy to help, I am exhausted!
