Triggers tribute

A place in history where I can bring Ben back to every now and again.
Ben is my eldest son; a good lad, hard working doing well at school and is blessed with a great personality. I'm sure he should have been a blond though. What he lacks in common sense I suppose he tries to make up in good looks. When he was younger on occasions when he would go to the shop or chip shop he would always get the order wrong; either not enough or the wrong type of whatever he was buying. We got used to it and started to really lay down what he needed to buy and sometimes wrote a list for him. As he got to the age of fifteen he started to get it right because he would ask questions and fear me giving him a hard time at my pleasure and his expense ( Healthy Banter ) as a friend of mine used to say 'character building'.

This all changed tonight.... Michelle and Dominik are away to see the family so that leaves me, Ben and Joshua to look after ourselves. It was getting late and after a cool TV marathon today; a healthy dose of 'On the Buses' we were getting hungry. I asked Ben if he wanted food so we discussed Chinese for the three of us. I told him the order.. Like this.. Sweet and sour chicken balls, egg fried rice, curry sauce and chips, we can share this, Joshua will have some chicken and just chips. Is that OK Ben? Err yes Dad, I think you better write it down! OK Ben. Here goes ask for it like this, Quite simple, Sweet and sour chicken, egg fried rice, curry source and chips,in that order you won't go wrong. The list looked like this-

1. Sweet and sour chicken

2. Egg fried rice

3. Curry sauce

4. Chips..

And away he went to the shop with his friend Michael. I asked Mike "Have you eaten?" "Yes" he replied. That's it Ben just the three of us eating, I'll see you in about ten minutes. This is where the new name and well earned name of Trigger comes from. He walked in the house and we all went into the kitchen to serve up and eat. Have you guessed what he bought back? .... hmmmm...

Yes, it was. One portion of Sweet and Sour Chicken. Two portions of egg fried rice, three pots of curry sauce and four bags of chips. It was a case of how stupid are you? there is enough food to feed us for week. He said well how was I to know!
You may be aware that Jesus is in my life and I often talk about him. I didn't realise Ben was trying to become like him and try copying his miracles and feed the five thousand.

So here it is my Tribute to Number 1. Benjamin Bullock Aged 16. Likes to be known as 'The KMX Kid' now known as Trigger.

Trigger..
