A few of Ben's funny moments....

Number 1: The other day Ben was creating some profiles on-line for some announcements that he is offering private English classes. I was sitting on the couch reading my book while he was doing this. I glanced over to check his progress and I noticed under age he had put 25. I started laughing and told him he wasn’t 25. He looked at me and told me that yes, he is. I told him again that he is not 25. He shrugged his shoulders and said he would be turning 25 this spring so it didn’t really matter. Then I really started laughing and reminded him he is only 23 and that he still has a bit to go before he turns 24 let alone 25!

(An agency in Madrid saw Ben’s post and he was offered a job! He already has two English classes that he will be teaching!)

Number 2: Last night Ben threw one of our pillows into the bedroom. Normally not a problem except that the window above our bed was wide open. I wasn’t paying attention so I didn’t notice him throwing the pillow in. I did see it time though to watch it fly out the window three stories down into someone’s personal courtyard to which we have no access. It was late at night so we didn’t feel comfortable going down and asking for it back. We couldn’t stop laughing though! I was a little annoyed at first but it was kind of funny too. When we got up the next morning we could still see the pillow on the ground outside. When we got back from our day trip to Segovia there the pillow was sitting on the railing waiting to be picked up. This isn’t the first thing we have dropped something down there. We have both dropped some clothes pins and some washcloths too and we always find them on the railing the next day. Ben suggested we make the neighbors some cookies or something as a thank you for giving our stuff back! 

It is a little hard to see but the white square in the middle of the bottom part of the picture is our pillow.

Our neighbors kindly put the pillow on the railing for us.
