Well, we’re several weeks into our Star Wars adventures. The observations and discussions regarding all things Star Wars has been mind-blowing. I never anticipated I would hear the things I’m hearing being uttered by my 4 yr old daughter.

Lucy: Daddy why is Darth Vader choking that man?
David: Oh, because he’s angry
Lucy: I think it is because the plans for the Death Star weren’t found in the main computer

And then tonight as David was putting Lucy to bed I overheard this little tidbit

Lucy: Is that George Lucas?
Me (from other room): Did she just point out George Lucas in a book?
David: Oh yeah, she knows George Lucas
Lucy: George Lucas made all the Star Wars movies
David: Would you like to watch “the making of Star Wars” with Daddy tonight?
Lucy (using sarcasm for the first time): Are you joking? Yeah!

My 4 year old daughter has mastered a knowledge of Star Wars that only some 10 year old boys have obtained. She can identify almost every character, can quote lines and knows how everybody is related (including that Queen Amidalla is Princess Leia’s mommy). I figure if I teach her how to play pool, cook a good pot of spaghetti, and sew on a button she will be a deadly combination that no male on the face of this Earth could resist.
