Lunchtime ramblings

Today's lunchtime conversation with Ben....

Ben: Ooooooh noodles (mac & cheese)! Ooooooh grapes. I like it!
Me: Me too, buddy.
Ben: I see the hummingbird.
Me: Not right now. The hummingbird went bye bye.
Ben: (Takes a bite) Ooooooh I like it! Daddy home soon?
Me: Daddy's working, but he'll be home after your nap and he will eat supper with us.
Ben: Mmmmmmm.......supper! (Eats a grape. Spits out grape skin. Throws grape skin on the floor) Oh no! Grape fell down.
Me: The grape didn't fall down. You threw the grape and that makes a mess.
Ben: Mama sad?
Me: Yes baby, mama is sad. It makes me sad when you make a mess.
Ben: Oh sorry, mama.
Me: I forgive you. No more messes please.
Ben: (charming smile) Mmmmmm....noodles. (Proceeds to drink the "juice" at the bottom of his bowl. Dumps his grapes on his tray.) Oh no! Grapes fall down.
Me: (trying not to smile) Uh oh.
Ben: Uh oh. All done. I have the cookie? (Hears ambulance in the distance). Ambulance? I touch the ambulance.
Me: No Ben Ben, it's too far away. We can't touch it.
Ben: See reach it (stretches out arm towards the window)?
Me: Nope. We can't reach it.
Ben: Mama reach the ambulance?
Me: Nope. It's too far away.
Ben: (can no longer hear the ambulance) Ambulance? Where are you, ambulance?
Me: The ambulance went bye-bye, buddy.
Ben: More cookie? (lets out big belch) Ah-choo, Ben. Ah-choo!

I could go on and on, and on and on. Never a dull moment with this little friend around :)
