The Bible through the eyes of my child.
Ben: “Mom, don’t pick favorites, ok?”
Me: “Mommy doesn’t ever pick favorites with her babies. I love you all equally”
Ben: “Someone played favorites in the Bible, Jacob’s mommy loved him best and Esau’s papa loved him best so they hated each other and fighted over the bookmark. It was sad.”
Me: “That is sad, what’s a bookmark?”
Ben: “Esau had the bookmark and then Jacob took it away. When the mommy and papa die and you have the bookmark, you get all their dresses and stuff.”
Me: “That’s a very good story Ben but I think you mean birthright.”
Ben: “No it’s a bookmark. I want one.”
I adore this kid!

Ah, the first of many of his 'Benisms'. I've wanted you to write these down for years and so happy you're doing it now. You need to do a review of some of his old ones, like how his eyes will pop out... You could write a book by the time he grows up. He sees things in such a different and abstract way and he describes thing so wonderfully.
