Our Funny Four-Year-Old

Benjamin's little one-liners sometimes amaze us. And sometimes the conversations we have leave us raising our eyebrows looking at one another thinking..."where does he get this stuff?"
This morning he cracked us up when we got home from church. David told him "thanks for being such a good boy at church" he paused and continued with..."and at Bible class."
Benjamin looks at him and says, "I don't know about that one."
I guess I'll be checking with Miss Mary to see how Bible class went!
We were eating lunch a bit later and Benjamin was working on scooting his chair up to the table. He kept going up and down while he was trying to scoot, and he chuckled and said sort of quietly..."hydraulics".
David and I looked at each other and asked for clarification.
He indeed meant what he said.
When I asked him what hydraulics were, he said quite matter-of factly, "they make the car go up and down."
David asked where he learned that.
"At preschool" was his response.
I want to just clarify right now that our preschool is not teaching four-year-olds "Mechanics 101" on the side. He did not learn that at preschool. He actually learned it from the Tag reader using his Cars book. The book explains that the car Ramone has hydraulics.
For a brief moment, however, we both wondered if his class was just super advanced!

Here is one of the songs he has learned at preschool...



He's one great kiddo.
