time to find a new mark

last night during the superbowl, ben and alex were off on their own for a while.

later on in the night i found this in a drawer.

here's the conversation that followed:

me: ben, nice of you to write your name in here.

ben: (with a big smile on his face) it was alex.

me: (i decide to play along ... just to see where the story goes) RIIIIIGHT ;) he can't even write his own name, crazy. hey alex, ben said you wrote his name in this drawer.

alex: i did.

me: WOW ... someone taught you how to write 'b. e. n.'?

alex: yes. ben did.

*sigh*

alex, my sweet innocent 2 year old, (HA!) ... look out for ben. he's our resident trouble maker..
AND
ben ... buddy ... if you're going to try to be sneaky ...
you have to quit leaving your name as your mark ;)
