ROTFL, Part 2

Daddy, looking at Benjamin's feet: "Benjamin, I think you're getting some callouses on your toes!"
Benjamin, looking at Mommy, quite concerned, "Mommy, I have cows and sheep on my toes!"

…

"Shh, Mommy!  There's a noise hiding in the bushes!  Be qui-wit!"

…

Mommy: "No, no, buddy. Don't play with the rug like that."
Benjamin: "OK!  I NOT play with the rug! NEVER EVER!"

Wow - a simple "Yes, Mommy" would have been fine, but i have no problem with enthusiasm for obedience!

…

I've been keeping my eye out for preschool supplies, and recently I purchased a set of sequencing cards … sets of 3-4 cards with pictures that tell a little story (i.e. boy eats breakfast, puts on shoes, goes outside).  I knew Benjamin was a little young for them, but they were on sale, so why not?  And during our "seclusion" the past 2 weeks, we played with anything I could think of.  So, after using the cards to tell the stories to Benjamin several times, I thought I might just see what he could do with them.

I gave him a set of cards and said, "Benjamin, do you think you can put those in the right order?"
"Yup!" he returned quickly.
I was surprised at his confidence and sat back interested to see what he would do.

He promptly picked up the cards, ran, and stuck them back in their box!

So, perhaps before we get the hang of sequencing, we should learn that "the right order" is not the same thing as "the right place."
