I got home from work today to discover that Uncle Ben had come for a visit. I asked him what he was here for, and he said, "Mmm...to have fun."
Ever since that comment, he has been on the couch watching Full House, ignoring everything that doesn't live in the Tanner house.
By that definition of fun, Ben's life is non-stop fun :-)

At Aunt Bubbles party I asked if he was having lots of fun and he said yes. Uncle Ben is all about fun. That is all he ever wants to do and ever will do.
Either Uncle Ben is all about fun or it is the beer that he always drinks talking to him.
Uncle Ben's life is the TV. He has watched every Full House, Little House on the Prarie, Seventh Heaven, etc... that has ever been made at least 20 times.
Ben wanted to make sure he was able to go to the play on Friday night. He is supposed to go with the "old yaddies". I could not pick him up on Friday due to the fact that I am having surgery. And tomorrow...I have to wash my clothes and get ready to be out of commission for a few days. Besides, I was visiting someone today off of Union Hill road. I was a quarter way to Mary Kay's. Mary Kay said that I could pick Ben up today as long as he rests while he is here.
You shouldn't make fun of the fact that he is resting. Because Mary Kay and I are yelling at him to rest. He will never get well enough to go out on his "date" on Friday unless he rests today.
Noah...tha bad news is you will have to bring the recyclables in. Even though you hate the job.
Of course Ben coughed on me several times while we were eating tonight. I hope I don't catch his germs. At least until my surgery is over.
I never grocery shop when Ben isn't here. I would eat a paper clip and a rubber band to keep from having to run out to the store. I am so lazy.
I actually went shopping today to stock up my house with food. Ben and I actually sat down and ate tonight like a family. It was very nice having company while I ate. And it was nice not having to eat that paper clip and rubber band.
I fell asleep in the middle of that last comment.
Ben is always dronk. One time Noah told him he would pay him to clean his dipper. A few hours later he said,"So how much money do I get to clean up all that ****" He dronk a half a thing of wine.
Matt - dronk?
And Becky, he doesn't always drink beer normally it is a whiskey sour.
And on Sunday Uncle Ben fell asleep before the episode of Seventh Heaven.
no, ben drinks (or at least always drank) beer and wine more often than whiskey sours. the whiskey sour is only when he goes out.
and matt, its diaper, not dipper.
I am happy Uncle Ben is having fun. When he is eating or watching T.V. he usually just answers yep or hmmmm to everything.
with the occasional answer of "Wha?"
(Yes, I mean Wha, not what)
Don't forget the "nooo" after he says "yep" to something he shouldn't and you call him down on it. Today I asked him if my dogs were his favorite in the family. He said "Yep." I then asked him if he loved my dogs more than Oreo and Samoa and he said "Yep." I then said I was going to tell Gina that he loved my dogs more than Oreo and Samoa and he said, "Nooo."
By the way, Eric, Leave it to Beaver wasn't on it's normal time today. I asked Ben if he expected me to call the broadcasting company and he said, "no - we can't control that."
I think these things are kind of funny. Yesterday I heard about the Micheal Vick situation for the first time. Ben and I were discussing it on the way home. He told me he had heard about it already. I asked him if I was the last person to hear this news. He looked at me and said, "probably".
Ben also told me that Mary Kay walks her dogs every day to keep them from going, "Berzerk".
I walk them to keep them from "running loose on the world."
Ben knows the latest news because the 12:00 news is on his schedule right along with the 80s sitcoms. And I must say that Noah was as sounded as bad as DJ Tanner in his first post (when she told the people to shut up). He's as bad as Ben taking speech at Cooper.
All of these things Uncle Ben says I just can't picture him saying. I think it is because I rarely see him. And when I do see him, he is as silent as a stick.
Ben silent as a stick? I told Katie I think he is part Ugandan because he says sorry all the time. Maybe when he is with you that Ugandan part of him comes out. With us he's American through and through.
You may not imagine Uncle Ben saying these things. But I can never imagine him quiet.
And beware of that "Artic Weather"
and the west nile misquitos. they're worse than HORnets
Especially when it is 99 degrees outside and he is at a Giants game wearing pants.
While we are sitting in shorts with sweat rolling down our backs.
When Aunt Gina goes to the First Aid because of the heat and he is wearing long pants.
No spelling mistakes this time.
