Joshua: the Health Specialist

I know I just posted yesterday, but Joshua has said some pretty funny things today, so I thought I would write them down here.

Today we found out that the attorney that Bryan works with lost his mother. She was older and had Alzheimer's, and had been getting sicker over the last few weeks, so it wasn't a surprise, but of course still very hard. We were going to the store to get somethings for dinner for them and I was trying to explain what happened to Joshua. I explained that she was older and had been sick and that she passed away. He nodded and seemed to get it.

Then a few minutes later he came up to me and said:

"Mom, did she have ward council, is that why she died?"

WHAT? Where did that come from?

Then I remembered that we had gone to the grocery store earlier in the week and seen all of the pink breast cancer things and he wanted to know what they were so I explained a little about CANCER. Bryan has been going to the ward COUNCIL meetings on Sundays. I think he obviously got the two confused! :)

So then we are one the way home from the store and he tells me this story:

"Bro. G. (his primary teacher) said his uncle is sick because he ate too many blood sugars."

Me, trying desperately not to laugh: "What did he eat?"

"Blood Sugars"

Me: "Really?"

"Yeah, he said he ate too many of them and he's sick and..... (he pauses trying to remember something).....then Brother G. just went back to the lesson."

Hahahaha! Sometimes it is really hard to take what he says seriously without laughing! I know he is serious because in his mind he's got it all figured out, and he almost does, just with a few four year old tweaks!

I love his curiosity and how hard he tries to understand the world around us!
