Please tell me that the guy who does yard maintenance, and "trims the bushes," is not named Ben. Had the same problem with my first marriage when my kid started calling me Ramone. It was annoying since my kid was 12 at the time.

ha - that's awesome!!!
i wouldn't worry about it - my 3 year old calls me all sorts of wacky things.
today he was outside riding his bike wearing yellow rubber boots on the wrong feet (and no... it wasn't wet at all outside) with grey sweat pants, a royal blue tee shirt, a navy fuzzy house coast and a red helmet... i don't take him too seriously! ha! ha!

Your two year old is trolling you at a five year old’s level. You should be proud.

Ben stops by when you’re at work during the day?

broke the first rule

The serious answer is it is just a phase and he will start calling you what you prefer to be called (which, I presume is Benjamin) in no time. Just have everyone around you keep saying dad, pops, whatever when talking about you.

Didn’t he say his name wasn’t Ben?

When I was nine or ten I called my Mom “Moose” to no reaction, however I’m strangely not in her will.

Kids come up with weird names for their parents, grandparents, or aunts & uncles.
Instead of uncle i said "CooCoo"... although, in retrospect, maybe I was onto something.

I wouldn't get worried about it until he mentions Ben as Mommy's other friend...

Thanks folks, this thread did exactly what I thought it would. Give me a laugh, over my child's foolishness.
Also nice to know that this isn't a unique issue.
Only thing is now my wife calls me Ben, because she thinks she's funny... she's not.

Looks like your wife is in charge of custom user names.

My two year old son calls me "Dada", my wife "Mama", his baby sister "baby" and himself "Zeus". So he is now known as Zeus
