May the Force Be With Me

It started out simple and innocent enough. I thought to myself,

"Self, why not introduce Star Wars to your children?"

So we watched the movies. My boys enjoyed the action, adventure, and characters. I enjoyed Billy Dee Williams. Good times all the way around. Then we watched the movies again. Then one more time.

Then my mood took a turn.

For the past few months, it's been Star Wars this and Star Wars that.

Basically - I'm up to my ass in Star Wars.

We've got Star Wars -

  • Toys.
  • Nintendo DS cartridges.
  • PS2 games.
  • Books.
  • Legos.
    • When will the madness end?

      Ask me what game I played for two g*ddamned hours yesterday.
        Oldest is even writing a "new chapter" to continue the story. My precious children are turning into a) kids I threw spitballs at in elementary school or b) my brother.

        If Youngest tells me to "laugh it up, fuzzball" one more time, I may have to stage an intervention.

        Or start drinking in the afternoon.

        Do, or do not. There is no "I may have to..."

        This is not the comment you are looking for.
