Classic Oliver Quotes

Oliver is obviously thinking about stuff lately. A lot of stuff that makes Mama and Dada slightly nervous.

Oliver (on seeing two ramblers): Mama, I think, I think those people walking are why the earth goes round.

Later that day....

Oliver: Dada, what are girls like?

Dada: In what way?

Oliver: What do girls… what do they do?

Dada: They mostly do whatever boys do although sometimes they like different things to boys. Is that what you mean?

Oliver: What are girls for? Do girls go into boys?

Dada (desperately hoping this wasn't about to turn "in-depth"): Do you mean "do girls turn into boys"?

Oliver: Yes.

Dada: No. Boys are always boys and girls are always girls. Is Nonna a girl?

Oliver: Yes

Dada: So, she hasn't changed into a boy, has she?

Oliver: No. So why are there girls and boys?

Dada: Well, it's a bit complicated… [dada awaits inevitable further question that will require the "birds and bees" conversation being had a few years earlier than expected]

Oliver: Oh, okay.

[Oliver turns and walks off. Dada feels a bullet has been dodged, for now]
