Hilarious things from kids: Rocket & Star Wars

Two hilarious things from our kids this week.

First, Rania doesn't really have a security blanket -- but she does carry around a DVD (in a case) of Little Einsteins everywhere she goes. She insists on taking "rocket" in the car, putting "rocket" in bed, and having "rocket" with her as she walks around the house.

Second, Reeve and Gabi have become incredibly fascinated with Star Wars this week. On Sunday they got little Star Wars characters from their Happy Meal visit to McDonalds. Since then, we've had long re-tellings of why Planet Alderon was destroyed, and how Darth Vader became a bad guy.

We've also had endless questions like,

"Why didn't Darth Vader throw the emperor off the building quick so he wouldn't get hurt by electricity?"

"How did Darth Vader get burnt by lava? Why didn't he jump higher?"

Thanks to a friend at school, we borrowed the DVDs so Friday night will hopefully be our kids indoctrination into Star Wars, Chapter IV: A New Hope.

our kids are obsessed with star wars and i don't remember anything. i just say, "ask your dad," but even then after seeing only 2 of the first movies, I'm pretty sure Jackson can beat him in Star Wars trivia. Their imaginations are amazing at this age, aren't they?

isn't star wars a little violent??? how old are those kids????? well, considering rania's security blanket is a dvd, maybe it's inevitable...
