A Case of Mistaken Identity: Part 2

Ben and I traveled to Morgan this morning to share in the festivities surrounding the double-header baby blessing.

Everything was going so well. The kids were blessed, Ben ate his goldfish crackers, and we made it through church without incident.

Afterwards, we went to the Courthouse Auditorium for a "small" family gathering. Colton, Dezi (sp?), and Tosha were setting up the tables. For those of you who know Colton, you will know that he is going through a hairy phase at the moment. His auburn hair and beard are long but well-trimmed.

Ben went berserk when he saw Colton.

"Baby Jesus!" he yelled with every ounce of strength his tiny lungs could muster.

It's hard to know what one might do/say in such company. Some might kneel... Some might cry... Well, Ben had a different response.

Before I could contain him, he ran to the other end of the auditorium. With his arms making windmill circles and his legs flailing wildly, he shouted "JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!"

Dezi laughed, but Colton was not impressed.

Sorry, dude.

Ben is one of our favorite little kids. I hope my kids are even half as awesome.
