"Mom? How am I going to get candy at tricks and treats if I'm not carrying a weapon?"
"A weapon? You don't need a weapon. You just ring the doorbell and say trick or treat and the neighbors will give you candy. You're not robbing them. Why do you think you need a weapon?"
"I thought I needed a weapon so that they will all know I am Han Solo. Han Solo carries a gun and he has a vest."
"You'll have the vest."
Ha, very cute. Good thing all vests don't come with weapons or the Shriners would be a very different group.

Awesome. Tell Bob we'd know he was Han even without packing heat. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWhen am I supposed to get tired of this blog? Love it.
Lovin' the look today Bob. I had no idea you played the drums. You're such a talented kiddo. Now if you would just stop drinking before noon, you wouldn't end up with a lampshade on your head. Don't even try to give me that innocent look.
ReplyDeleteThe vest is enough, Bob, you're more Han Solo than the man himself!
ReplyDeleteI suppose if he were trying to get candy from the neighbors come November, a weapon of sorts might be necessary. Smart.

And what kind of world will we live in when "Stick 'em up" one day replaces "Trick or Treat?"
ReplyDeleteI love "Tricks and Treats"!
ReplyDeleteHe's adorable...and perceptive. Hans Solo sure does carry a weapon. Of course being the Star Wars buff that little Bob is, I hope none of the other kids are dressed like a Storm Trooper.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was HANS Solo.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Yoda Bob Rosenberg has enlightened me.
Tell him the weapon only comes in handy on November 1st.
ReplyDeleteGood, smart mum.
ReplyDeleteTell Bob Han Solo doesn't need a gun! THAT'S how good he is!
ReplyDeleteEveryone always recognizes the vest - rarely the gun
ReplyDeleteBob Rosenberg brings me joy. =)
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who tried like mad to keep toy weapons out of her house and away from her kids. She said to me one day in exasperation that her 5 year old had chewed his toast into the shape of a gun and was shootin' up the breakfast table. You win some, you lose some.
What an awesome misunderstanding. He would be the most polite armed robber ever.
ReplyDeleteBut can Bob strike the Han Solo pose? And who will be his Chewbacca? The public wants to know!
ReplyDeleteHa, he's too cute. Now though, I will be picturing him holding up all your neighbors for candy. ;)
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to drop by to say that I bestowed a marvelous award on you. Stop by my blog if you want to check it out in the post Fair Is Fair.

It's not a gun. It's a blaster.
ReplyDeleteBut I have a feeling my boy might have said that and been edited for the Star Wars impaired.
A true warrior needs no weapon, he uses his words.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I tell Baby E, anyway.
You can give it a try...good luck, too. (-:
Boys will be boys, and your response was, in my opinion, just totally right. It is unfortunate that everything on tv is s-o-o violent, isn't it? And there are just no role models in any of the programs. Parents raising kids should go live in the mountains until they are 21... The kids, not the parents.... Thought I would just qualify that remark 'cos so many teens are becoming parents...
