I just HAVE to share this story with you regarding my four year-old son, Jack.
So, I'm sitting on the couch watching my son and husband play a video game on the laptop. Jack says something that triggers me to say this phrase that my husband's beloved grandmother used to say quite often. My husband then tells me not to make fun of his grandma...I tell him that I wasn't making fun of her, I LOVE Oma!
Jack (who only knew Oma when he was a couple months old) says, "I love Oma too." My husband replies, "Do you even remember Oma, Jack?" Jack says, "Yea, Oma's dead now...she goes to the park and comes back sometimes." Up until that point, I wasn't really paying attention...but the word, "park" obviously piqued my interest!
I start to ask Jack some questions:
Me: "Did you say that Oma was at the park?" Jack: "Yes, she goes to the park." Me: "Who told you about the park?" Jack: "Nobody, I just know it." Me: "But how do you know Oma is at the park?" Jack: "Because I saw her last night, when I was sleeping in my bedroom...then she went back to the park."
My mouth dropped! Seriously, I was so excited about this little conversation! My husband was completely oblivious, but now I have confirmation that our beloved Oma is not "stuck" somewhere in F-23. I'm so happy and I'm so happy that she comes to visit my kids! Ahhh...to have the natural ability of a child. I'm so pleased. I hope you enjoy this experience.
