The Force is not strong with this one


"I'm making all these for Peter's birthday.  He's having a Star Wars party.  That's when the Care Bears are in a circle in a bowl and there are more Care Bears in the bowl."

"Wait, Lyla.  Wait wait wait.  What is Star Wars?"

Big sigh.  "I just told you.  Star Wars is when the Care Bears are in a circle in a bowl and there are more Care Bears in the bowl.  Daddy, why are you breathing like that?"

"It's called hyperventilating, honey.  Just give Daddy a minute."

What the hell do I do now?  Show her the movie Star Wars, with all its violence and scary parts?  Or live with her thinking it's some nonsensical Care Bears acid trip?

Why do I get the feeling Julie is somehow behind this?
