Dawsonisms

I have the most adorable 4 year old nephew. Dawson is very smart and energetic and enjoys testing the waters of his mom and dad's patience...but we sure do love him.

Today, I spent some time at Bryan and Melissa's with Suz, and she and I got to overhear a conversation that Melissa and Dawson were having as he was taking his evening shower:

*Dawson jumps in the tub, slips, and falls (after having been told not to do it once before already)*

Melissa: Dawson, you are one lucky son-of-a-gun. You could have bitten your lip and it could have been a lot worse.

Dawson: Mom, what's a son-of-a-gun?

Melissa: (Pause) Oh, it's just a silly term.

Dawson: (Pauses then asks very concernedly) I'm a silly term?

*Steph, Suz, Melissa (and then Dawson) laugh hysterically*

And then we were having FHE at their house a few minutes later. We learned about the articles of faith. Melissa wanted to do a review with Dawson before bed. It went something like this:

Melissa: Dawson, who wrote the articles of faith?

Dawson: Um, Jesus?

Melissa: Uh, no.

Dawson: Heavenly Father?

Melissa: (chuckles) No.

Dawson: Richard?

*Again, hysterical laughter by all*

You gotta love this kid!
