In any event, Dad got word of this and inquired after the questions which were posed. One in particular inspired his curiosity, "How many words does Benjamin know?" Heh. Thing is Mom and Dad don't know the full extent of my wording skills. I've been feeding them some words here and there and so they started counting those. Goodness if they weren't pleased as punch as the list grew. So this is the list they came up. (Please bear in mind that my vocabulary is actually much larger, but I I'm reticent with my rhetoric.)

---------------------
I publicly employ small sentences like the following:
- Read it!
- More Grape Nuts please ask.
- Cuddle Mommy.
- Owie, Band-Aid on.
- Where Benjamin go? Peek a boo!
- Ready, set, go!
- See kids play baseball please.
I recite parts of certain books. Mom reads the first part of a sentence and I'll finish it. Also, I spout off with things like the following:
- "wiggle, wiggle, yeah"
- "shake, shake booty"
- "Oh me oh my"
