The statment is identical each time he tells me. But then some of the conversations vary afterward. Oscar: "Dad, I'm going to miss you when you die." Phil: "I'll miss you too, but I hope it doesn't happen for some time." Oscar: "No it won't happen for a long time. Not until you are as old as Grandpa." Or he said this morning, "Not until after mommy dies." I said this morning, "Maybe it won't happen for 200 years." Marlene and Oscar laughed and then Oscar said, "Maybe not for 150 years." I then said, "Maybe I'll be as old as Methuselah from the Old Testament--950 plus years." I am posting a comment made to me over the last few days. The statment is identical each time he tells me.
