Happy Birthday to Ben!!

My favorite pookie celebrated his 38th birthday yesterday!! He was impressed that I made him two cakes... a white layer cake and a chocolate heart shaped cake. I'm so lucky, that it doesn't take much to impress Ben!!

Ben's claim to fame is that he was born on 7-7-70. He turned 7 on 7-7-77 and last year he turned 37 on 07-07-07. Leave it to a statistician to have such an interesting date for a birthday.

As a side note, I noticed that Nicole Kidman had a baby on Ben's birthday which was on Monday...and they named the baby Sunday. Too Funny!

Deep Thoughts of a Six Year Old

"So who is the first person the baby sees when she comes out of you?"

"When we ate food in the pre-mortal life, our food would fall out of our bodies just after we ate it."

"When we were spirits in heaven and we gave High 5's, Our hands just went right through each other"

"Mom, If I don't get married by the time I'm old, I will just go on a Mission."

"From now on, I'm going to be a 'Thumb's up' guy." What does that mean Ethan? "Than I'm not gonna wet my pants anymore. "

Second Day of Kindergarten:
Teacher: "...and this is the class kitchen"
Ethan: "But this is fake!" "When are we going to the real kitchen?"

"Mom, Can we buy a dog that isn't certain?" What are you talking about Ethan? "You said that you are allergic to certain dogs, so I want to get one that isn't certain."

"Mom, Are you gonna color your hair soon? I'm tired of looking at that dark brown hair. I want it to be lighter...like red."

"I don't like Sundays!" "Why can't we stay home from church like everyone else?" Who is everyone else? "All the people that ride their bikes and play golf !"

" Mom, do we get closer to dying the older we get?" "Yea. I guess so." "So grandma and grandpa are closer to dying than me and Carter?" "Yea. I guess you can say that."

"What was the first bathroom ever???" "I don't know, Ethan? I give up." "Grass and trees!"

"We need to get BAM Toilet Unclogger...it unclogs toilets and drains and cleans stains!!"

"If spiders weren't invented...would flies rule the whole earth?

"I wish I could make 3 copies of myself in a clone machine so if a mean guy tried to take me away, he wouldn't know which Ethan to take."

"If I get bit by a spider...will I be able to climb walls and ceilings?

"Where can we buy 5 teleporters? I bet we can go to a teleporter store" Why do you want 5 teleporters, Ethan? "So we can go to Hawaii."

"I didn't wet my pants...just my underwear."
"
"Hey mom I just found Saturn in my cereal bowl! See the planet..and there's the ring."

"Mom, Did you know that SPACE PACK storage bags are guaranteed to lock out dirt, bugs and moisture. You can store seasonal items and they are made of nylon." "So do you want them or not?"
