The Marrying Man

At Dinner....

Mommy: Benjamin! That is the third fork you've dropped. Why do you keep dropping forks??

Benjamin: (With tears welling in his eyes and his lip poking out) This is why no one is going to marry me.

Mommy: Awww...Ben, of course someone is going to marry you. What happened? Did someone say they weren't going to marry you?

Benjamin: Yes, Dana. (tearing up again) And I want to marry her.

Mommy: Ben, you know what, you're going to meet a lot of girls, and I promise one of them will want to marry you.

Paxton: Ben, you want to know what's great about marrying? YOU get to CHOOSE the girl! I'm going to marry Morgan. I LOVE her. She's my best friend and she rocks.

Huh...same reason I married Josh.

We'll Start With Dougie Howser M.D. and then Go from There

(Somebody must have told Paxton that doctors make a lot of money.)

Paxton: I want to learn to be a doctor so I can charge sixteen thousand quarters for people to come into my room.

Me: You're going to charge people sixteen thousand quarters to go into your doctor office so you can make them well?

Paxton: Yes.

Me: You're going to have to be very smart if you want to become a doctor.

Paxton: Yes. I'm going to have to watch A LOT of doctor shows on TV!
