Our funny boy
Benjamin has had several funnies over the past few weeks. Here are a couple I can remember....
Last night I was cleaning his ears and I commented on how clean they were compared to usual. Usually they are filled with dirt and other "boy grime." He said, "Well I guess my garden I was growing is dead. And you killed it." ...Oh, gee....sorry!
****************** *********************** ****************************************
We have been talking about the treasures Jesus is storing up in heaven for the things we do here on earth and how when we get to heaven we will also get our rewards from Jesus. I guess Benjamin has really been thinking on that because the other day in the car he asked me some very insightful questions concerning our discussions.
Benjamin: "How old is Daddy?"
Me: "34"
Benjamin: "And I'm only 5. I wish I was a grown up man already."
Me: "Oh, I don't know, I really like little boys."
Benjamin: "Yeah, but Daddy will get his treasures a long time before me and if I was a grown up I could get them sooner. I'm only 5 so I have to wait longer for mine."
Me: "Yeah, but you get to build up more while you are waiting to go see Jesus."
Benjamin: "Yeah, but I still wish I was older so I could die sooner."
Of course my Mommy heart was saying, "UH....let's not rush it kiddoe!" But on the other hand, I am so pleased that he is looking forward to the day when he gets to meet Jesus face to face!

Arden made some similar comments when he was a bit younger...things along the lines of wanting to die so he could go to heaven. Definitely caused Mommy some mixed feelings/reactions!
