Another Star Wars Lesson

October 2, 2013 by Stuart

As readers may already know, I’m a big Star Wars fan and now my kids are too, even though they aren’t old enough to have ever watched it.  With my t-shirts and other paraphernalia, they kids know all the characters and ask questions to learn all the stuff they’ve never actually seen in the movies.  Whenever practical, I try to infuse our Star Wars discussions with some life lesson or other parenting moment.

Daughter: Why does Darth Vader wear that black suit?

Dad: Because his entire body was badly burned and chopped up.

Daughter: How did that happen?

Dad: He lost control and threw a horrible temper tantrum in a dangerous place

Daughter (pensive): oh.

(silence for a brief moment)

Daughter: What about the cape?

Dad: Well, that’s just for style ‘cos it matches the suit; someday Mommy will teach you how to accessorize.
