Out of Oscars Mouth

Here are some recent things we have heard out of Oscars sweet mouth.

• He has asked me this questions at various random times over the past month, "Mom. Who made Heavenly Father and Jesus?" Tough and thoughtful question to be sure. I have done my best to answer it, but it is a question that still plagues my mind too.
• In response to Grammy using the word "butt" at the dinner table one evening, "Grammy, when you say 'butt' at the table, it disgusts us out."
• In one of Oscars dinnertime prayers, "...Please bless Jesus to fight off all my nightmares." I am so pleased that he is aware of the power Jesus has to help him in his life. I hope he is always aware of that.
• It was shortly after breakfast one morning this week. I had returned from exercising, and my clothes were soaked. Oscar was feeling blue about Daddy leaving for work and asked me to hold him for a bit. I instantly obliged. A few seconds later he looked up at me with a crinkled nose, "Mom. I don't like the smell of you. Go take a shower." Then he hopped out of my lap.
• Oscar was watching a show during quiet time last week. I was resting on the couch cuddled up next to him. That sweet child held my hand throughout his whole show while I shut my eyes for a while. Then, even after his show had finished and I was not quite ready to get up, he asked if I would like him to hold my hand a little bit longer. I said I would love that, and he did. He just sat there in the still quiet and held my hand till I got up, which was only about 5-10 minutes longer, but still!
