Cameron

One night I was dreaming about Cameron and he told me that he had changed his name to Gilham. I thought that was a funny dream. Last night he called and said that he had a new laser that he wanted to use to play with our new kitten. He wanted to come over. I said that would be okay but that Kristen and Jenessa had institute in 2 hours so he and Jayden could come for a little bit until they left.

So Cameron and Jayden came over and I fed them dinner. It wasn't much because it was leftover night. I dug something up from the fridge...Watermelon, Beef Teriaki, and Italian noodles. I also made toast with chocolate hazelnut spread on it. That last was a hit with both of them. They played for awhile with the kitten Sophie and Romeo our cat before Jenessa and Kristen had to go.

On the way to drop Jenessa off at institute Jenessa was talking about how she didn't like this Chihuahua movie because they made the dogs look like 'sluts' and that she didn't think it was appropriate for kids to see that type of movie. Cameron pipes up and asks, "What is a slut?" Kids sometimes ask questions that are hard to answer in the content of what a kid would understand. Besides, how do you explain to a child what a 'slut' is? So I gave it a try and hopefully he wasn't more confused about it. I explained to Cameron that a 'slut' is a person who dresses immodestly and uses her body because she thinks people will like her if she does, that she swears and has a dirty mouth, and acts totally the opposite way in which our Heavenly Father would have her act. I hope that explanation helped him understand but it was a really awkward moment.

We invited Cameron and Jayden over tonight to go to trunk or treat. Jenessa is going to make them some costumes to wear to the ward outing. I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
