Bennett, Bennett, Bennett....what are we going to do with you?!
This silly, crazy, funny kid has yet again brought us to tears with laugher. How he does it, I'll never know. But I certainly don't want to forget his latest antics.
Along with all his wonderful qualities, he also has a few, shall we say 'sub-par' qualities. He is well aware of these. One of them is his ability to totally not pay attention to what someone is saying. He completely blanks out. He could be looking right at you and not hear a word you're saying. He is far, far away. It's like he has his hearing aid off (and he doesn't even wear a hearing aid). He just lets his mind wander when we are talking with him evidently.
So, we're sitting at the table talking about our day. Of course everything happens around the table in this house. From what I've gathered, Bennett pays attention for a few seconds to our conversations and then he tunes back out again. It appears that he's only getting about 40% of what we say, just enough to be dangerous. We'll be talking about something and Bennett will jump in with, "So...wait....you want me to do what?"
Everytime he tries to join in a conversation it starts with, "So...wait....". So much so that we all go around mimicking him all the time now. Chuck could have just told me he wanted to have some tea and cookies with me. And then I will aptly respond with our dear Bennettism, "So...wait, you're saying you wanted to play chess with me, right?"
Don't you just love inside jokes?!
So....wait....were you just saying you wanted me to tell you another joke?
