So Goober has turned into a super Star Wars geek. Which isn't such a bad thing. I like that he has something that he enjoys, not because all the other kids do, but because he himself likes it.For Halloween I have to figure out how to make him Darth Vader and have it be school friendly (aka no mask and minimal makeup). So that should be a challenge.
Here is a snippet of our dinner conversation this evening:
Me (talking to Jer): Yeah, the kids watched Star Wars today, you know, the one with all the snow.
Jer: ahhh you mean Hoth.
Um, yeah, like I would keep track of the names of the planets! :P the one were Luke is WAY whiny... oh wait. That would be all of the older ones...
At this point Goober pipes up....
Goober: Yeah, Degobah.
HOLY CRAP! My FIVE year old knew the STAR SYSTEM.... should I be worried? I dunno of I should be impressed or worried... awwww crap! I think I should be impressed... how many kids would pick THAT up... he hasn't even watched it a kigillion times.
