Here were a couple of my laughs of the day from Benny Boy -
Laugh One -
The scene: Still in the car after just driving into the garage upon our return from picking the girls up from school. Ben said -
"Mom did you remember yesterday I shot a bear?"
"you shot a bear, Ben? I don't remember that."
"yeah, I did!"
"where were you when you shot the bear?"
"I was really closer."
"and where was the bear?"
"He was hiding in the leaves. He was at Merrill's house (that's our neighbor who lives directly across the street."
Very impressive - don't you think? I am rather certain that Ben is the youngest bear killer in the state of Nevada. And, the fact that he discovered a bear in the desert southwest is even more amazing, I do believe!
Laugh Two -
The scene: In Ben's room right before I put him down to bed tonight. Lacey came in the room and I was reminded that we needed to review her spelling words. So, with Ben listening, I told her to go get her words so we could practice them before she went to bed."
Ben quipped - "oh yeah, mom - I need to do my homework."
Nice try buddy - off to bed you go!

What a sweet age Ben is at. I am so glad to know what a great shot he is and that he is protecting your home and family from bears;)
What a cutie that Ben is! I'm sure your neighbor was very grateful to have the bear taken care of for him :)
I think it's very interesting that Ben, being a two almost 3 year old BOY, would be so into shooting. but it doesn't surprise me. Just yesterday I babysat a two year old boy that didn't have much of a vocabulary. Most of his words were jibber-jabber, except i did make out a couple of his words. He called he "ma" and while he made his toys crash or fall he would say "die! die! die!" or at least that is what I thought he said! You may want Ben to stay clear of my boys room. They have some kind of amo/bee-bee gun/ pellet gun arrangement set up. They open their window and shoot outside across the field at cans on the fence. What is a mom to do but hope that the neighbor's horse doesn't get it in the behind!
Thanks for a great laugh!! I sure wish I had that much confidence, enthusiasm and imagination.
What a cutie...he is so smart! I love this age, and the things they say. Yesterday Rose told me she wanted to go to pink school....( I am guessing ballet?)
Wow, bear-shooting AND spelling. Ben is definitely ready to be three.
