the musings of a boy

isaac and i had a very talkative time on our walk today.  we spent about an hour getting to the shops and back and isaac had a lot to say.  here's a sampling -

we crossed in front of the library (where we go regularly) and he said "no thanks library, i don't need any of your books today."

while walking past empty lots with random bits of rubbish, he saw a cadbury fredo frog wrapper (his favorite treat) and said "i haven't had one of those in ages."

spontaneously, he also took some time to pray and he asked "god, please don't make superman pretend" - a point we are desperately trying to drive home because two days ago he told us that if superman is pretend, then jesus must be...hmmmm.

further down we passed a discarded mcdonald's cup and he quickly sang "mcdonald's, mcdonald's, i love mcdonald's and mcdonald's loves me."

lastly, we listened to a large crow at the top of a light post.  isaac said, 'i don't like crows" to which i responded, "i don't like crows either...they sound like dick cheney."  he said "dick cheney...i love dick cheney."

 

we have a song we've been singing lately about jesus walking on the lake (thanks sean and reba for the great music) and isaac stopped the other day and said "jesus can't walk on water."  we said, yes, that's what they say.  in his disbelief, he responded with two plausible options, he said "jesus must have taken off all his clothes, or he put on his duckie and floated."
