Kids say unhinged things and I'm looking forward to what mine will eventually say (she clearly has opinions written in her furrowed brow and skeptical expressions).

With "observations", I wondered if there'd be commentary as well but nah, almost entirely a collection of occasionally profound nonsense Jeffrey's son Oscar says. This book is almost ten years old so I'm guessing he's a teenager now, or at least a tween? Wild to think about time progression. ( )

Amusing and tempting to look for prints of some pages just because our son is named Oscar too. ( )

"I think I need to wrestle, because I'm returning to madness."

"Oscar, do you want to help me make dinner?"
"Yeah, where are the knives? Are there any knives in here?"

"Oscar, do you think we should have another baby?"
"No."
"...Mommy has sisters...I'm really happy that I have brothers!"
"Well, I don't see them living with us." ( )

Funny, even if you don't have kids. From the creator of Darth Vader and Son and Vader's Little Princess.
