When Odan is Angry

Odan was mad his brother for turning off the Wii. I was explaining to him that it was time to turn it off anyway. He yells at me:

O: "Mom! I'm going to break your heart!"

After giving him the disapproving look, he continued...

O: "First I'm going to break your skin, then your heart!" 

Bad Feeling

O: "Hey Mommy, I have a bad feeling."

M: "Uh-oh, what is it?"

O: "Um, (pause) that a monster is going to come."

Reading a Valentine's Day book, about half-way through Odan gasps worriedly and says,

O: "Mom, more spinach please!"

(after eating 2 handfuls)

O: "Mom, does spinach have carbohydrates or protein?"

Change Your Fate

M: "Ummm...."

O: "Does it mean you're in trouble?"

Married

O: "Mom, you are so pretty, I want to marry you!"

M: "Odan, when you get big, you're going to find a pretty, nice girl to marry."

O: "Aubry? Is Aubry going to grow up?"

M: "Yep, you want to marry Aubry?"

O: "Is she going to hit me if we get married?"

Stayin' Alive

Listening to "Stayin' Alive" on the radio. About three-fourths of the way through the song...

O: "Mommy, I want to stay alive." (very seriously)

Your Letting the Cold Air In!

To our friend who went outside for a few seconds before returning in. She had left the door cracked...

O: "You're letting the cold air in!"

That's not something I say at all... :)

You Look Like....

A friend of ours came by and she was wearing a beautiful dress and looked very pretty. We were all commenting on how beautiful she looked, when Odan blurts out,

O: "You look like a witch!"

(he later clarified to us he meant a good witch)

I'm a Prince!

Wearing a paper crown he made in Primary...

O: "Daddy I'm a prince!!"

D: "Oh good!"

O: "But I still want to be a astronaut."

Baby Shower

O: "Mommy, do daddy's get baby showers?"

M: "Well, they can go with the mommy to the baby shower, so yes."

Odan gasps in excitement and says,

O: "I'm going to be a daddy!" (short pause) "So I can go to a baby shower!"
