conversation

at dinner last night, ben says, "turn light on, mommy?"

me - "sure."

ben gets down, turns on the overhead lights in the kitchen and comes back to the table.

ben - "energy."

tim and i nod.

ben - "you know where energy comes from? water."

hahaha. i loved that he asked it in the form of a question then answered it himself. he's sounding so old. apparently, tim told him this when ben wanted all the lights on and tim was trying to turn the lights off, spouting about saving energy. that kid has quite a memory.
