Scene: Earlier this week. My car, on the way to school. Son #3 and classmate/carpool companion in the backseat, engaging in a mock Star Wars battle.
Son #3: (whacking his friend with an imaginary light sabre) I'm Darth Maul! I shall kill you! (thwhack!)
Carpool Kid: I'm Darth Vader, I shall kill YOU! (THWACK!)
Son #3: Well, I'm Darth Sion! I shall kill YOU! (THWACK THWACK THWACK!)
Me: (in best mock Patient Earthmother type voice, pretending they're four instead of twelve years old) Now now Darths, no hitting. Use your words.

Son #3: I'm Darth Thesaurus. I shall kill you with my words!

could you keep driving? Or did you have to pull over until you stopped weeping with laughter??
Thanks for the laugh!
You've just been suckered by your child. Love it (and so did my 13 year old... although he wants it made clear how old these children are?)
Oh thank you for that - so good to have a laugh! Brilliant.
Angel Jem, they're 12. Grade six.
So nice when they surpass you in wit....
very funny...Love your blog!!
Aw. You must be so proud.
I love it!
LOL. Hey-- thanks for the very lovely birthday wishes.
There comes a moment, with every child, when, as a parent, you know the force is no longer "with you".
Laughter so much, I woke the hound and the husband!
