    Out of nowhere, Benjamin comes to me and starts reciting/solving basic addition problems:

    3 + 1 = 4
    4 + 5 = 9

    Way to go!

    Becca and I are watching this video and she goes, “Rock and roll? Yeah, rock and roll Christmas!”

    That’s my girl. ;-)

    So I’m in the grocery store, running down my shopping list. Milk, bread, etc. Down at the bottom, I find that someone has added an extra item: “Toys”. Wonder how that got there? Becca, looking at you. ;-)

    Benjamin, while playing a difficult online video game: “This game is impossible!”

    First time I heard him use that word. Pretty funny…

    So, Benjamin is looking at YouTube videos and he says, “Daddy, some day, I want to go see an tock tick.”

    I don’t quite make out what he is saying. “A what? A tock tick?”

    “No, an tock tick. And penguins, ” Benjamin explains patiently.

    Desperately scrambling for what he could possibly be thinking, I come up empty. “Benjamin, I have no idea what you are talking about,” I confess.

    Now irritated at my stupidity, Benjamin petulantly replies, as if dealing with an idiot child, “You know. Penguins. In the Antarctic.”

    I’m pleased with his ambition. Now I just got to get that kid some diction lessons. And a smarter Daddy.

    Becca: “I really like Baby Alive. Daddy, will you buy it for me?”
    Daddy: “Maybe someday, sweetie.”
    Becca: “Aaaw, ‘someday’ means ‘never’.”
