Decided this would be the best place to archive the Best of Benjamin Quotes. Easier to do by date & access & stuffnthings. Right. Onwards!

  • October 21, 2003:
    • "Woozle, we don't put fire in we're mouth!"
(and no, i have no memory of what precipitated this remark; Woozle says he said something to me {he can't remember what} and apparently Benjamin interpreted it to mean something like having fire in one's mouth...)
  • October 24, 2003:
    • "I am not a silly boy, I am a crying boy and I need a hug"
    • ...said when i was giving him a hug & telling him he was silly because 'cause he was crying over something that silly me thought was silly
  • January 1, 2004:
    • Benjamin comes trotting into the office & says to me, "You have to be happy mommy.. here, I will kiss you on the elbow and that will make you happy" and then does so.
  • May 2, 2004:
    • In reference to the window that was leaking water during the wee thunderstorm & deluge we had.. this was after it was over:
    • "Nothing is coming through by there!"
    • Also, just before that when the sun sorta came back out he said:
    • "The thunderstorm is gone! Now the thunderstorm makes it back morning!
We can't touch the thunderstorm. It makes us scared."
(and yes, that was said all in the same breath)
  • May 3, 2004:
    • Re: Balloons gradually shrinking due to loss of air:
    • "These balloons are getting aired off"
  • May 6, 2004:
    • On the way to daycare this morning, in the middle of his usual free associating, he came out with this:
    • "When I was your age, Woozle." (pause) then (after some prompting) "I was like your age."


Hollywoodbush

Part 1

  • May 6, 2004 (PM):
    • Benjamin notices that my arm has scratches on it & asks where they came from:
    • Me: I got them when we cut down the holly bush.
    • Benjamin: holly bush? You mean Hollywood?

Part 2

  • May 7, 2004:
    • He asks again about the scratches, I answer as I had the previous day (from cutting down the holly bush)... the following exchange ensues:
    • B: holly bush?
    • Woozle: Is that like Hollywood?
    • B: Hollywood? Nooooooo, we didn't cut down Hollywood!!

Part 3

  • Date Uncertain; Originally Posted to LJ on May 16, 2004:

    • B: *giggling furiously* Yes you did!


  • May 23, 2004:
    • During the thunderstorms, Benjamin was heard to say something along these lines (in reference to our house):
    • The house is afraid. But the house doesn't have legs to stand up with. The house can't run away.
    • (No quotes 'cause i'm doing this one from memory & i am kinda paraphrasing from a half asleep state)
