From the mouth of babes...

Benson bought Aubrielle some princess math workbooks for her birthday and she ran across a subtraction page that she didn't know how to do. She asked me how to do it and since I was still trying to finish my dinner, I attempted to give a 3-second subtraction lesson. I said, "Okay, let's say you have 5 pieces of candy and then you eat 3, how many would you have left?"
Of course Benson, my soft spoken little sweetheart, who I had no idea was even listening, immediatlely grumbles in a soft yet bullying voice, "None, cause you brother take them all."
I guess we all have our days.

Those of you who have known Aubrielle since she was a baby, or at least seen pictures, are probably well aware of the stork bite she has on her forehead. It's still noticable, just not nearly as bad as it was when she was a baby (people used to come up to us and say, "Oh, did she hit her head?"...it was that bright). Anyway, a few days ago it came up and we were talking to Aubrielle about her "special spot" on her forehead and telling her how no one else in the family was lucky enough to get a stork bite, so that made her special. She of course thought this was great as she loves any and all attention.
So of course a few days later I was confused as I heard her excitedly yell, "Look dad!! You've got a stork bite too!!"
Camron however wasn't as impressed that the zit on his forehead stuck out so much.... :) Don't worry, I'm sure she's the only one that noticed :)
