I have a four year old daughter. It was hard to potty train her. I told her that Luke couldn't become a Jedi until he pooped on the potty. She asked, "when he pooped on the potty, then did he get his light saber?" I said, "yes." One day, I'm working downstairs and I hear, "daddy, daddy, come quick...." I ran up the stairs and saw her sitting on the toilet. She had successfully pooped. It was a big deal. Without skipping a beat she looked up at me and asked, "so, where is my light saber?" I have a cool kid. I hauled ass to Target and bought her a light saber. It's actually pretty cool, it lights up and has sound effects. Every night I tell her bed time stories that revolve around the star wars universe. being a dad is awesome.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW FILM!!!
That's great! My son likes Star Wars, but isn't interested in it, if that makes sense. So he will get excited and announce "Daddy it's STAR WARS!" when he sees something related, but he refuses to watch the movies. He has watched the Clone Wars cartoon (the old Tartakovsky one not the newer one) and enjoyed those, and likes Yoda... but generally it's more to humour me. He does like my lightsaber though and loves swinging that around, so maybe I should get him and his brother some of the cheap ones to fight with...
I like that you have a light saber. That immediately makes you alright in my book.
May I start with you sound like an awesome dad. It reminds me of when my father introduced me to the Star Wars. We used to recreate the destruction of the death star with poorly constructed pillow X-Wings. I really hope these new Star Wars movies allow me to share these moments with my children whenever I have them.
You sound like an awesome dad who raised an equally awesome daughter!
