Bennett Says...

Bennett Andrew Mueting is a boy who keeps us on our toes. He is sneaky. He was quiet until the age of 18 months and hasn't stopped with his one liners since. 

I must say that most of his really funny comments need a 5 second delay...they are usually inappropriate and we can only share them with certain people. 

He has a fascination with being a boy and all that being a boy entails...ahem....you know what I mean.

His boyhood has been referred to as many things: a rocket, a gun, a sword...use your imagination.

Moving on...

Here are a few of his most recent quotes which have us giggling:

 While laying down with him for a nap..."Mom, I will share my blanket with you because boys do that with their moms, but sorry, I'm too old to share my candy, so don't ask me again."

Mom: "Bennett, did you wake up crabby this morning?" 

Bennett: "No I waked up a wise old owl."

Mom: "Bennett, hands out."
Bennett: "I know I know, hands out, gun in."

Bennett: "Mom, can you fix my plane with some duck tape....or cat tape."

At the petting zoo in a pumpkin patch, we saw a pig that had a growth near his bottom: "Dad, looks like this pig is pooping an apple."

While playing soccer outside, the ball rolled into the street. "I'll get it Bennett."
Bennett: "Mom leave it! Get inside! The cops are here!"

While eating zucchini bread: "Mom, can I have more Chicago bread? It's really yummy!"

Mom: "Benny you can't play that rough with me. Do you want to go play rough with Papa?"

Bennett: "No he'll just cry and say, "no, no, don't hurt me, I'm an old man!"

Bennett to everyone in the house at some point in the last few weeks:  "Will you marry me?"

While describing his teacher: "She has big feet, big hands, big eyes, and big ears....oh and she's a mom."

While looking at a steep slide: "Whoa...this is going to be creepy!"

While playing outside: "Mom, pretend you are my grandma, and we are playing soccer but pretend we are playing basketball and pretend we have no hair and pretend the soccer ball is made of fire, no pretend the soccer ball is like a fast bullet, and the grass is fire, and the driveway is ice...ok?  

Mom: "ok"

Bennett: "mom, instead let's just go watch the ipad."

While decorating for Halloween: "Mom, I'm going to call it Owl-een, not Halloween.  It just sounds more creepy and disgusting."

Bennett, you are a silly boy who keeps us all laughing that's for sure!
