2013 was a year that the Brown side of the family all got together for the thanksgiving meal and festivities... At dinner, (which was held at Erica's house), Benjamin was sitting next to his cousin, Conrad Archibald, who was not interested in eating all the food that had been given to him. He instead attempted to put the unwanted food onto Benjamin's plate, who was also not interested in the discarded food.
B: "You get what you get, and you don't try to give it to somebody else!"

Funny Kid quotes to Remember
For the past few months we have been having FHE lessons focusing on baptism in preparation for Quincy to be baptized the first weekend of August. She seemed to have a pretty good grasp on the purpose of the whole ordinance. Saturday morning, about an hour before she was supposed to arrive at the Stake Center for her baptism, she asks me
Q: "Mom? Am I going to remember ANYTHING after I come out of the water?" I'm sure I looked at her, somewhat confused and then replied,
M: "Yes, sweetheart. Heavenly Father forgets about the things we have done wrong in the past, but we don't forget anything when we get baptized. You'll remember the same things you remember now. That's how we learn! If we forgot everything, then we would not remember the consequences that happened."
Q: "Are you going to forget things?"
M: "Nope. Just Heavenly Father forgets the things we did wrong."
Q: "So basically, nobody forgets anything..."
M: "Basically."
The next day, I was team substitute teaching Benjamin's primary class (sunbeams). We were having a lesson on obedience. Jamie Johnson Morrow was teaching the lesson. She asked, "Does your mom or dad ever ask you to do anything?" Some of the kids (like Benjamin) nodded emphatically, while others obliviously replied, "No." Throughout the next section of dialogue Benjamin stated (very matter of factly) that, "When mom is happy, I'm happy!" (what a smart and sweet boy!)
