This morning, Myla and Luke were playing Star Wars while I got dressed for work. Keep in mind that they've never seen Star Wars--most of what they know they've picked up from friends at school. This is what I overhear:
Myla: I'm Princess Leia, so you are Luke Skywalker.
Luke: I want to be Princess Rapunzel.
Myla: There is no Rapunzel in Star Wars. You can be Luke Skywalker, or Obi-Wan-Kenobi.
Luke: I be Luke Skywalker.
Myla: That's good, because I'm Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker is her brother, and you're my brother in real life.
Then they play with their "life savers" (light sabers) for a while, and I hear:
Luke: I'm bigger than you!
Myla: No, you're not. Princess Leia is older. Right Mom?
Me: Umm, I think Luke and Leia are twins? I'm not sure? (As Matthew reads this, he considers filing for divorce.)
Myla: Mom says they're twins, so neither is bigger.
Luke: Then I be Darth Vader!
Myla: Darth Vader is bad. But maybe you can be Anakin Skywalker. Is he bad, Mom?
Me: Well, he becomes Darth Vader when he grows up (spoiler alert), but before that, he's pretty good, I guess.
Et cetera. I can't believe how much they know about this stuff. I need to get my hands on the Cliffs Notes or something!
Saraya is going to be a big sister!
