italics are my thoughts
Me: girls- tell us what you did at school today
Reese: I-
Makena: NO! Me first.
Makena: Luke brought a book to school today. It was about a boy named Luke. Not the real Luke, a pretend Luke.
Brett: who was he?
Makena: he had a father who was black. He was dark, but at the end he had a white face and white hair. hmm...this is probably some version of Star Wars, but there's still an outside chance we're talking about Michael Jackson.
Brett: what was his father's name?
Makena: Dark.
Brett: Darth Vader?
Makena: Yeah, yeah- that was it. Dark Vader. He was black but he started white. this discussion could go south fast.
Brett: still not quite confident we're talking about the same plotline...were there any princesses in the story?
Makena: NO.
Brett: trying again....were there any girls in the story?
Makena: yes- Princess Leia. here we see what a princess is not in the eyes of a four-year-old. poor Carrie Fisher. she really drew the short straw on the whole princess deal. can't a girl get some tulle and a hair stylist?
Me: Reese, what did you do today?
Reese: I WAS LINE LEADER!!!
