Joshisms

-- While waiting at the eye doctor with Grammy, the nurse came out and called the name "Anita Webb." Josh said "What?? I don't need a web!" 

-- As we were leaving the doctor's office, a lady asked Joshua if she could go to dinner with us, as it was pretty late and past closing time. He said "Sure! You want a date?" 

-- Joshua: I'm a zombie....

Me: You don't even know what zombies are. 

Joshua: Uh huh. They're monsters that walk funny and eat brains. 

Me: Where did you learn about zombies?!

Joshua: At school. 

Me: You don't go to school!

Josh: At my class at church, I do. 

Me: You learned about zombies at church?

Joshua: Yes!

Me: Who taught you about zombies?

Joshua: All my teachers.

Me: Mrs Roxy taught you about zombies?!?!

Joshua: Yea!

-- Joshua: You are a mimic. 

Me: What does mimic mean?

Josh: What does mimic mean?

Me: I think you've got it! 

-- As Megan was driving away: "Bye Mae Mae! Bye, I love you! I will come to your house any day! Be a good girl. Christmas is coming soon!! Ho Ho Ho!"

-- Texts from Mama while Joshua spent the week with her:

• Josh was singing in sweet frog. A Tim Mcgraw song was playing. J was singing "And the cars go woooooo". The song is called When the Stars Go Blue. 

• While playing basketball: He goes down the hallway out of sight and yells, "The latest and the bestest basketball mans ever!" Then he runs out saying "Thank you!" And waving. 

• Josh just walked over to the wall with the bball under his arm and pretended to read the rules. (There isn't anything there. ) He said, "OK. You must respect the rules of this basketball court. If you get it in the basket, you must throw the ball to the other team. And respect. And you do get the point. But if you hit the green team, you don't get the point. You respect. " (When I asked Mama if Josh had learned a new word, she sent: "It might have been during a discussion about "touching" the Sorry game after a fit of anger when he lost.") 😉

• After being totally disgusted that I would think about starting a game without having prayer, Josh just prayed the pre-game prayer for 3 min and 19 seconds. Yes, I timed him!  Never stopped talking. 

-- Josh overheard Mama talking about a different Josh preaching a few Sundays ago. My Josh didn't realize that HE was not scheduled to preach and so on Sunday morning, he asked Grammy if today was the day he was going to preach. Mama explained that it was a different Josh (who is now affectionately referred to as "Big Josh") and asked him what he would preach about if he could preach. His response was "The sweetness of God." :) Then he asked that since he couldn't preach, could he please sing? So, he joined the praise team that morning.
