Another Kind of Breathing


Jeff and Bob sat on the couch watching Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones. The Star Wars scene took place at the Naboo lake house. Anakin confessed his love to Padme.

"It's like, every time I think about you, I can't breathe..." said Anakin. Padme swooned.

Bob turned to Jeff. "Dad? Can you pause the movie?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"Why did Anakin say he can't breathe? Is he hurt?"

"Well, sometimes when grown ups love each other it can feel almost like pain when they start falling in love."

"But I love you, and Brandon, and Mama, and J.P, and Mia and that doesn't hurt, Dad."

"That's different than romantic love, like when Mama and I first fall in love and-"

"Dad? Can you please just fast forward it?"

  2. My favorite part of this is, "Dad, can you please pause the movie." He needed his dad's full attention for this one. Awesome.

    (You can never stop this blog ever or else my whole day would be thrown into upheaval. . . .)

  3. Good for him. Little does he know, he'll have lots of years of wanting to fast forward past those parts of the movies ahead of him.

  4. I imagine him with his hands over his ears, saying "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" at that point.

  9. I love that once Bob found himself in alien territory, he quickly extracted himself. Smart, smart boy.
