Attack of the Clones

Yesterday was weird. The kids did not enjoy missing church and were a little on the grumpy side. Seth was really fine yesterday and feeling 100% like himself. But I, being the true germ-a-phobe that I am didn't want to expose him to anything else. So I made everyone stay home from church yesterday. Did I mention they were not happy? So, to make up for this bit of sadness in our house I allowed them to watch Attack of the Clones.

Okay, so I really can handle only so much Star Wars. I have a limit, and really reached that limit several years ago. So Kylee, Seth and Josh put on the movie and I went in another room to read my book. From the other room I am hearing the battle noises and such from the movie. But then it seemed like I was hearing the same scene over and over again, which really isn't that unusual since the whole movie kind of sounds like one scene playing over and over again. I then tune in a little more and I realize it is the same scene playing over and over. And a fight appears to be brewing between Seth and Josh. I crept around the corner and this is what I heard:

Josh: But I want to be Yoda!!!! (You really have to imagine the half whine, half scream here)
Seth: I really should be Yoda. (Said with confidence)
Josh: But it's my light saber!!! ( Things are starting to get ugly)
Seth: So, I have it. ( Again just a fact)
Josh: But I look more like Yoda!!!! (Aha!!)
Seth: You're right, here.

The good thing here is that they worked it out with out me intervening. How is it a good thing to win the argument by the fact that you look more like Yoda, I'm not sure. But after that I couldn't resist watching the scene be re-enacted. And I have to say Josh rocks as Yoda. Who knew?
