A Farewell to Arms

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

I put Jude to bed tonight.  I am amazed at how our conversations evolve.

Jude: Mommy, who made my blanket?
Me: Judoo did it.  (He knows my mother--"Judoo"--made this, but he likes like to quiz me.)
Jude: My Judoo blanket has green and blue and yellow.  Karenna's has pink and yellow and blue.
Me: Did you thank Judoo for making it.
Jude: No, but I will thank her the next time I see her.


He then hums "Duel of the Fates" (Star Wars, Episode I).  The song starts to trail off so I assume he falling asleep, but then he turns abruptly to say this...

Jude: We are not supposed to have guns in school.
Me: No.  I don't like guns either.
Jude: "Don Wello" has a gun.
Me: Who?  (I think for awhile.) Oh... Han Solo.  Well, he has a blaster.  It looks like a gun, but it's a blaster.


We then went through a list of his favorite characters who do not have guns:

  • Harry Potter has a wand. (Jude pointed out that he also has a book.)
  • Doctor Who has a sonic screwdriver.  (And he always gives everyone a chance.)
  • Matlida uses telekinesis.  (And brains.)
  • Anakin Skywalker has a lightsaber. (Jude's pick; not mine.)
  • Spiderman uses webs.
