The funny thing about Benji...

Yup...another hilarious incident with Benji and John...Our centre has a few bikes for the kids when they play outside, not many bikes to go around so when a kid actually gets to ride on one..he/she tries not to leave them or another kid would take it! Another thing about the bikes are that there seem to be a preference for some bikes over others..apparantly, some of the bikes have lower seats (which makes it easier for the kids to reach the pedals as compared to others)
Well...one morning while we were outside and both Benji and John were riding around on their bikes, Benji rode up to me and said.." Meme i do poo, i do poo", he frequently comes to me to inform me of his bowel movements so that i can clean him up and change his nappy. But we had a problem...which i can fully empathize with...he didn't want to leave his bike and go to the nappy change room...so we came up with a solution and decided to instruct John to wait outside the room and look after his bike while i change Benji in the room. Benji was kind of skeptical about it...but after John assured him that he will take care of his bike (by putting his leg over Benji's bike while sitting on his own bike)...Benji agreed to change his nappy.
After i changed Benji's nappy i had to change another kid's nappy so i couldn't let Benji out of the room just yet...while i was changing the other kid's nappy i kept hearing Benji yell..."John stop it...No John" (pause).."NO NO NO JOHN...NO stop it...noooooo" Wondering what Benji was yelling about i went out to have a look...it seems that John had sneakily swopped his bike with Benji's bike which he was supposed to look after. Benji couldn't physically stop him cos he was still in the room and couldn't open the door on his own! So he was standing at the door and yelling for John to stop...apparantly falling on deaf ears!
I opened the door to let Benji out...who at this point was jumping up and down with rage...and sure enough John was sitting sheepishly on his newly acquired bike. I tried to convince John to give Benji his bike back but he wasn't willing...so i said, "John...you are a big boy and Benji is small boy...so you take the BIG bike cos you are a BIG boy and Benjitake the small bike cos he is small..." John said..." Benji small? Me big? OK..." All was well again as the two boys rode off into the sun set...
