From the Mouths of Babes
(Overheard in the car on the way to daycare the other day...)
Lucy: What's that?
Me: This? (pointing to the dome light)
Lucy: No, that!
Me: This? (pointing to the rearview mirror)
Lucy: Yeah, that.
Me: That's the rearview mirror.
Lucy (stretching her hand out): I can't reach it!
Me: Yeah, you're too far away.
Lucy (stretching harder): No, I can reach it!
Me: Maybe you need to use The Force?
Lucy: What?
Me: The Force. It's a mystical energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.
Lucy: What?
Me: Nevermind. Obi-Wan uses The Force.
Lucy: Obi-Wan uses The Force? I like Obi-Wan. I like The Force. Obi-Wan is my favorite friend.
Me: Can you reach the mirror now?
Lucy: No, I can't. I'm too far away.
Me: That is why you fail.
Lucy: What?
Me: Nevermind.
Lucy: Count Dooku, he has The Force?
Me: Yeah, Count Dooku uses The Force.
Lucy: General Grevious, he has The Force?
Me: Well, General Grevious knows what The Force is, but he doesn't really use it.
Lucy: General Grevious doesn't like The Force?
Me: No, I don't think so.
Lucy: General Grevious likes lightsabers, though.
Me: Yes, yes he does.
