Another Ben story....

We had some friends over for dinner and a game Friday night. As we sat at dinner, and we had conversation, it turned to our guest's new wedding band. There was discussion of what kind of metal the ring was made of. He was telling us that he had developed an allergy to gold, and was unable to wear his wedding band, so his wife had bought him a new one. He took it off to read the inside and tell us. The writing was too small for his eyes, and Ben sitting next to him, asked to see if he could read it. When Ben couldn't make it out, he got really excited when he remembered that he had a survival tool around his neck. He broke out the magnifying glass inside of it. "It says something about China!" he announced. And of course all of us started laughing. "What! It does!" he yelled, just to be met by more laughter.
Ben went to bed that night not knowing what was so hilarious to all of us. What a curse for someone that struggles so hard to understand humor.
