Ben Poneta Five and a half years old

Kid can spell his name, wants to drive a Îfast' Subaru and wishes he was like Spiderman

WILDCAT: How do you spell your name?

PONETA: (looks up at mom)

MOTHER: You know how to spell your name!

PONETA: (still looks up at mom)

MOTHER: B-E-N.

WILDCAT: How old are you?

PONETA: Five and a half.

WILDCAT: Sounds like you're counting those years off, aren't you? What are you waiting for? Some big day, like when you turn 16 so you can drive?

PONETA: (nods head and smiles)

WILDCAT: What kind of car do you want to get?

PONETA: Hmmm, a Subaru like we have right now.

WILDCAT: What's so cool about the Subaru?

PONETA: Because you can go fast in it.

WILDCAT: Because you can go fast? Does your mom have some speeding tickets?

MOTHER: (laughs)

WILDCAT: Yeah, right. I can check this stuff, you know. It only takes two or three seconds. So what about these Spiderman toys? Are these your favorite toys or something?

PONETA: (nods head)

WILDCAT: What do you like about them?

PONETA: I just like to play with them.

WILDCAT: Do you wish you were Spiderman?

PONETA: (nods head and laughs)

WILDCAT: So do I! I'd get paid a lot more than doing this! So I noticed you had a mouthful of food. What did your mom feed you?

PONETA: (looks up at mom) Umm ·

MOTHER: Tell them what you had!

PONETA: Pizza.

WILDCAT: Pizza? What kind of pizza? Pepperoni, anchovies?

PONETA: Umm, just plain cheese.

WILDCAT: Just plain cheese? You aren't a vegetarian already, are you?

PONETA: (stares blankly)

WILDCAT: So you're not a vegetable fan huh?

PONETA: I am!

WILDCAT: You're a lot better than I am!
