We get letters all the time about him wearing his hat backward and how it makes him look like a drug guy and how he really needs to quit being an idiot and wear it the right way. It's incredible. |
When I came into the picture, Ben and his dad had had a lot of together time and did a lot of grown-up things. Then I came along, and we did more grown-up things. He was used to hanging around adults a lot. I think that was part of (his growing up fast). He just got used to being around adults, and he acted like one of 'em. |
