New Favorites for Zachary as of March



Zachary has altered his "favorite things" a little over the past 2 months.  It all started when Scott convinced me it was okay for him to watch Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.  One things led to another and...well...now we have a Star Wars junkie.  I can't imagine who he might have taken after here.

He was asking questions about the general plot of the story BEFORE he started watching it.  He moved onto asking basic questions that I knew the answers to such as " What planet does Luke come from?", " Why does Han owe Jabba money?" and "Why does Luke have to sell his speeder?"

He then moved on to the next question asking level with questions such as, "So Anakin was Darth Vador's name before he went to the dark side?", "How did Anakin start becoming bad?", "Did Luke become a Jedi when he went to see Master Yoda again or while he was fighting Darth Vador?" and  "Did Master Yoda fight in the Clone Wars?"

Now he's moved onto questions that I really have to think about like, "How did they build the death star?", "How did Leia become the princess", and "How did they make Anakin part of a machine?". 

I suppose we will need to check out the book series one day. Or maybe just send him to my brother n law Matthew.  Those two would have very interesting conversations.  I'd be delighted to hear them.

Anyhow, as a result of becoming a big time Star Wars fan we now have a new list of favorites.

Good thing Star Wars has a great lesson: Don't let your emotions (specifically anger) take over your actions. 


May the force be with you!
