Me to 16 for his journey this summer- "Do you wanna watch Star Wars tonight?"
16- "--- You mean the first one, don't you?"
"Yes indeed because that's the one called Star Wars."
"Sure!"


Speaking of Star Wars I am 52 years old and to this day every time I hear the 20th Century Fox fanfare I am disappointed if it doesn't automatically shift to A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away and then John Williams.
Brains are wicked cool.

I just told 16 to watch Mark Hamill's eyes when he finds Owen and Beru dead, and 16 said, "Holy fuck."
I said that people entirely underestimate Hamill as an actor.
16, still disturbed- "Holy fuck."
I said, "And that single expression is why Luke could go Dark Side."

My kid just roared laughing over the deliveries of Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper? And Huh? Oh.

And that's why we're here tonight.
Fun.

Me- "So. Empire tomorrow night?"
Kid- "Yes."
