Conversations with Benji

Yesterday, Benji and I were walking to school.  We talked for a while about what a nice day it was, and about what specific things made the day particularly nice (the mild weather, the blue sky).  Then we had this conversation:

 

B:  We don't have your bicycle.

V:  That's right.  On Wednesdays, I take the metro train home because, in the evening, I go to work as a teacher.

B:  And now you're a lady again.

V:  [amused]  Yes.  I can be a lady and a teacher.  And a mommy.

B:  You're MY lady.

V:  Of course.

B:  But you're not a bad lady.

V:  Um... no.  Do you have a bad lady?

B:  No.

V:  [amused] That's good.  Am I your good lady?

B:  Yes.

V:  [more amused] Am I your good Mommy?

B:  Yes.  But people get mad sometimes.

V:  Yes, they do.

 

... and it continued from there, with other topics (being mad is a feeling, what people do when they are mad, the fact that they sometimes need to apologize later).  He cracks me up.  I also LOVE being able to have these conversations with him.  I love him more and more every day.
