OK, Ben is making this a very blogworthy weekend. This morning, Ben and Nathan were chatting and playing with another expat family that was visiting our church. They were very friendly, and in fact the dad told Nathan that he grew up wanting to be a diplomat. His parents were missionaries, and he grew up overseas thinking that his two career choices were missionary or diplomat.
They came from the very conservative Assemblies of God congregation, and while they seemed comfortable enough during the service, when their ten month old son discovered the church's plastic dinosaurs in the cry room we found the ensuing conversation amusing...
Visiting mom: Wow, Ian's really having a great time playing with all the new toys here!
Visiting dad: (Looking more closely) Yes, he's playing with the...the...animals. We don't have animals like that at our church.
Ben: Look, he has a T-rex! My favorite is the Stenopterygius!
*****************************************
But before all of you aunts, uncles, and grandparents swell too much with pride, I should let you in on what I overheard Nathan say last night, when Ben was running around naked and refusing to get dressed.
Nathan: Ben, what are you doing? No, the chip clip does not go on your penis!
Ouch.

Wow, you should have posted a warning about that second part. I read it while in a coffee shop and got some very strange looks when I practically spit my coffee across the room. Nice one.
Also, once more, go Ben Paleontologist!
Hehe...good one :)
I just love it! Any time we need a good laugh, we know all we have to do is to click on our kids' blogs. Way to go, Ben! Careful with the experimentation, though - you could regret it for life. Would hate to see that.
Love,
Grandma Phyllis
