So every morning we read, 'The little Engine that Could' - otherwise known as 'Could in the book'. At some point, the little engine, 'stops with a jerk'. So I was showing Ben what a jerk was. So then he says, 'Don't be a jerk, Mommy' - not exactly an expression I want him to repeat!

So last night I was putting away laundry in Ben's room. Ben was 'helping' by taking clothes out of the basket for me, but then started walking out of the room. So I started to say 'don't do that' because I thought they were his clothes, but then I realized they were mine and he was taking them to my room. In the middle of saying , 'don't do that', I stopped myself.

and he goes, 'stop screaming at me mommy'

which totally cracked me up
because:
#1 wasn't screaming at all
and
#2 that is what mary and I are always saying to each other in a joking kind of way.

But the cool (and very funny thing) is that he got the intonation just right and was every bit as nonchalant as he should have been as he just kept moving...
