Ben continuously thinks he is a stand-up comedian. He is always attempting to make me laugh with his witty banter and sarcastic comments about anything and everything. Most times end with his disappointment at my reaction and/or my rolling of eyes. Tonight he actually came through.
We were looking for Lucy and after Ben went through his usual routine of whistling, calling her name, and checking closets, he went to look for her downstairs. After a couple minutes, he called for me to come downstairs. Ben had thrown our sleeping bags onto the twin bed in the workout room and of course, curled up in the middle of one was Lu. All we could see was her black head and green eyes peering out. We both laughed.
Holly: (with a note of sarcasm, but a smile) “She’s so precious”
Ben: “If by precious you mean she’s fat and black, well then, yes.”
Don’t know if it was my good mood or true humor, but I credit him with an authentic Holly laugh. Love that Ben.
