DON'T CALL CPS, PLEASE!

So, today I was volunteering in the kids classrooms...I walk into Ben's class and his teacher bustles over as quickly as possible and says to me " Ben just told us his dad beats him"...my eyes were as big as saucers and my jaw drops to the floor...I say "he said WHAT??" mind you there are 3 teachers in there...teacher, aide, and speech therapist so they ALL heard this and they have never met Benson before so they don't know he is the most mild mannered guy in the world!! She said "we were talking about different foods we eat and he just plain as day says 'my dad beats me" I say, "Ben do you mean your dad beats you when you eat your chicken!" Ben says "Yeah, he always beats me!" You see we always have little "races" in our house to eat our dinner because Ben has a hard time eating (see Aunt Jawsy post) and Benson always tells little Ben that he will "beat" him by eating his dinner faster than Ben...I guess we should change the term to "daddy wins"! I am SOO glad I came to volunteer today so I could get that worked out...otherwise I am sure CPS would be knocking on my door!
