On Saturday we attended a holiday party. Bob decorated a gingerbread house with another boy.
"I'm four-and-a-half. I'm Bob. What's your name?"
"I'm three-and-a-half. My name's Lucas. "
"Lucas like George Lucas? The creator of Star Wars?!"
"Um... what?"
Bob, it only gets worse when you're older. I get the same thing or worse, the look of concern, when I mention Tom Rush. I feel for ya, dude.
ReplyDeleteWell, did Bob Rosenberg take that young man to school? I hope so. Preachin' the gospel of Star Wars. That's our boy.
ReplyDeleteWell if that's not a teachable moment I don't know what is :)
ReplyDeleteI love how the ages must precede the names! How long does that stage last again?
ReplyDeleteGreat gingerbread house, too!
Ha! What Kimmery said! (Oh, I think that this is the very best age.)
ReplyDeleteyour son is SO smart, you are lucky to have a son like him
ReplyDeleteI don't know many 4 years olds that are that much into star wars, but what a great way to make a new friend, it should be that easy as an adult!

Clearly, Star Wars is beyond comprehension for one so young. I'm afraid Lucas must wait until he hits the next mile-marker which is clearly 4yrs old or maybe 5...they may have made an exception for Bob.
