The Ben

Saturday afternoon we all went to the movies.  During a playdate with the amazing Caitlyn, we had gotten out some  costumes to play dress up.   At first, Ben had to go into another room to "become" spiderman.  (The costume has built in muscles which I find highly entertaining.) 

When it was time to leave, Ben could not fathom taking off his ninja costume.  He threw his winter coat over his costume and we went to the movie theatre.  I am always a bit stunned when I see someone grumpy there.  In my head I marvel at how someone can be grumpy at the movies!?!  I mean we are all there to have fun after all.  If you are grumpy you've missed the point entirely.  I suppose if you can be in a bad mood there, you can do it anywhere! 

As we left the theatre, Ben realized that no one had actually seen his costume.  Which made him not only a ninja, but a secret, spy ninja.  What could be better?  As we left the building, he had to sneak around, hiding behind signs, and very thin trees, checking to see if he was being followed. 

Then on the ride home, Ben started referring to himself as, "The Ben".  It seemed like something George, from Seinfeld would do.
