A Couple of Bennyisms

Benny was doing his time work this morning, learning more about telling time. He has just a few more time workbook pages left, and he's beyond what they're teaching him, but whatever. They're easy to do. Anyway, he was lecturing me on the significance of different hands on the clock, and what they are pointing to, and if this, then this, etc. and he was getting this very pedantic, sonorous tone to his voice, and he ended up the lecture by clasping his hands in that grand, patronizing way he has and saying...

"But no matter what time it is, you're still alive."

Heh.

Fast forward 6 hours or so and I've just spilled dried beans all over the floor and I call out, "Oh Benny! Help me pick these up, won't you please?" and he comes trundling over and says, "Mom, those beans hold no interest for me."

WHAAAAAT.
