A Boy's Right of Passage

It was one of those Saturday's where Spencer was cooped up inside the house and we were out of interesting ideas of ways to keep him busy. Flipping through the TV, we found Star Wars. Madison and Justin love Star Wars; not the goofy episodes 1-3, the ORIGINAL from Mr. Lucas twenty or so odd years ago.Spencer slowly crawled up into the couch and the initiation began.
  • He did not move (like for 45 minutes straight. For a three year old, that is like forever).
  • He did not talk (again FOREVER).
  • He did not ask for a drink.
  • He did not ask for food.
  • He didn't have to go to the bathroom.

He was HOOKED.

Obviously, after the movie ended, everything became a light saber and all evil things were Darth Vader. Life without Star Wars no longer exists. He has passed into the boyhood swinging a light saber.
