Um, you’re welcome?

August 21, 2011

Besh likes to perform. I have no idea where he gets that from. But it isn’t unexpected for him to put on a show, usually a dance. So the other day he did a dance and then bowed as usual. But this time after we clapped he insisted on giving a speech. Bear in mind that the only other people in the house were Mommy, Daddy, and Isaac.

“Thank you everyone for coming. And I’d like to especially thank my family. They stole my heart and I love them very much.

“I’d also like to thank my Daddy for showing me Star Wars even though I was too young to see it but I didn’t get scared. Thank you, Daddy.”

The ethics of Boba Fett

January 23, 2011

Tonight’s bathtime conversation with Besh.

Besh: “Daddy, is Boba Fett a good guy or a bad guy?”

Daddy: “He’s a bad guy.”

“Because he works for Jabba the Hutt?”

“Exactly.”

“But does he talk?”

“Yes.”

“When does he talk?”

“Well, remember in Empire Strikes Back he talks to Darth Vader a little bit.”

“For real?”

“Yes. They’re about to put Han into carbonite and Boba Fett tells Darth Vader, ‘He’s no good to me dead.’”

“What did that mean?”

“Well, Jabba the Hutt wanted Han Solo alive, not dead. So Boba Fett was telling Darth Vader not to kill Han Solo.”

“So instead of killing Han Solo, they put him in carbonite. See?! Boba Fett is kind of a good guy!”

“Huh. I guess you’re right.”
