So the following is the second half of our conversation about Star Wars and George Lucas...
Jude: Who is George Lucas?
Me: He makes the Star Wars movies?
Jude: Does he make the action figures?
Me: No. But the toy people aren't allowed to make anything Star Wars unless he says they're allowed.
Jude: Is George Lucas a boy or a girl? (Jude's preoccupied with gender.)
Me: He's a boy.
Karenna: All Georges are boys.
Me: What about George Elliot? She took the name George so boys would read her books.
Karenna: Most Georges are boys.
Me: There's also a Boy George (then, realizing I had inadvertently left myself open to another YouTube can of worms), but he's another story.
Jude (pointing to his picture on the wall): Who is that? Is that a boy or a girl?
Me: That is Boy Jude.
