Lately, Lindsay has been all about Star Wars.  Some of the boys at her school talk about it and pretend to be the characters, so that has piqued her interest.  We’ve even let her watch the original movies, though we’ve skipped the “scary” scenes, of course.  I’ve had to do a lot of explaining about who are the bad guys and who are the good guys and what their deals are, but she has caught on pretty well.

A couple of weeks ago, I got the bright idea to bust out some of my old Star Wars figures to show her.  She always wants to look at the Star Wars toys whenever we are out at a store, so I thought those old things would entertain her.  Little did I know that I’d be playing Star Wars in the living room floor on a regular basis, helping poor Princess Leia get captured and rescued over and over!

Then one weekend, she spent the night with my parents and took the figures with her.  When I went to pick her up the next day, she was sporting my totally old school Darth Vader light saber which I had completely forgotten about!  My parents never throw anything away, so my dad dug it out and presented it to her much as Obi-Wan did to Luke: “This was your father’s light saber and he wanted you to have it.”  Too funny!
