Did you step on a marshmallow?

I was apparently the comic relief for Ben when he got home from school last night. Ben's side of the story:
Ben comes home at 11:30 p.m. to find all the lights off and everyone in bed. He brushes his teeth takes off his clothes and climbs into bed in the dark. 5 seconds later I turn over look at him and say, "did you step on a marshmallow"? and roll back over and back to sleep.

Kelly's side of the story:
Ben comes home at 11:28 p.m., turns on all the lights goes to the kitchen to take his asthma medication, opens the mail, I think he had a little snack. Then he turns the hall light on, checks on the kids, brushes his teeth, takes off his clothes and climbs into bed. (yes, I know all this because I am in bed, but awake). He gets in bed and I thought, I wonder if he stepped on a marshmallow. Ryan was supposed to be in bed earlier but I caught him on Ben's side of the bed on the floor with a bag of marshmallows. I remembered when Ben crawled into bed that I forgot to pick up the marshmallows after I carried Ryan to bed so I thought Ben might have stepped on one. So when he climbed in bed I looked at him and said, "did you step on a marshmallow?". Then rolled over and tried to go to sleep.

Ben said he's going to tell his side of the story though because he doesn't believe me that I was awake.

After we stopped laughing at the dumb marshmallow thing I told him something else that he thought was SO funny...
Last month I made cookies two days in a row and gave them to my neighbors, Lowell and Cheryl. After the second set of cookies Cheryl asked me what the occasion was for all the cookies and I told her the truth, I was on my period. I always bake and eat sweets on my period. So last night I made brownies with peanut butter chips and called my neighbors behind me to see if they wanted some. I met Tim at the back fence and gave him some brownies, he asked what the occasion was and I couldn't tell him the truth, he's a guy! So I did not say, "I'm on my period", I said, "Um...Um...", he filled in the blank and said, for 9/11 right? I said, "Yes, go troops". So then Ben busted up laughing again saying Tim is probably making fun of me for saying, "go troops". (I'm not trying to make light of such a sad day I promise) But I couldn't say, "Go people who lost their lives on that tragic day". So then Ben said, well now Tim is making fun of you, when you should have said, "yes, I made a calorie for every person who lost their life that day".

We thought it was pretty darn hilarious.

Hey any time you are looking to get rid of your extra hormonal induced desserts, you are welcome to bring them here! I won't ask any questions I promise, just thank you profusely! ;-) I totally understand about how you have this huge thought process behind a seemingly random comment, it happens to me (and Trav) all the time. It's always funny to retrace the steps of "Where did that come from??" ;-)
