I am feeling rather lazy but I don't want to forget this............SO, I have "cut and pasted" from an email I got from Ben's teacher, Mrs. Kirtley. I am glad she shared this with me but I will not be telling one of my co-workers who runs the "Drug Free Youth Coalition"..... :)

Mrs Kirtley wrote, "I just had to tell you this b/c I thought it was funny! Today in Math we were looking at our big book. It was a rabbit that was at tea party. We were talking about what we saw in the picture. Ben raised his hand and said, "Beard." So I was looking for a beard. Couldn't find it...so I asked him to show me. He pointed to some bottles that were in a box and said, "You know, beard. You can drink it!" Got it! I couldn't help but smile. Then of course I had other kids chime in and say, my mom and dad drink beer. Then Ben said, "My dad drinks it, but it makes my mom throw up!"

What I (mom) am thankful DIDN'T come out of his mouth at school;
-Anything to do with Whiskey....
-The "dirt" dad has in his teeth or Uncle Louie's "spit bottle"
-Or, how he already had his first "beard" at a K-State football game when he was 2. That is why you never send your son to a game without mom.......the bad thing is someone even took a picture of him pouring it down the front of his shirt...............hmmmm! :)

Both boys are having Valentines Day parties at school tomorrow. I will try to make sure all the Valentine's get to school with them unlike a few years ago with Ben. Tomorrow since they will be all hyped up, maybe the grandparents will want them for a "few" hours.... Wishful thinking I know!
