CASE IN POINT!!

Okay so do you remember before when I was saying there is nothing girl at our house..... Well let me tell you of a conversation I had with Kaden the other day. I am a HUGE fan of Halloween. I normally spend a lot of money on costumes and a lot of time making the costumes. Well since my boys are huge Star Wars fans and the new movie 'The Clone Wars' is coming out, I thought it might be fun to dress up everyone as Star Wars characters. I knew Gregg would want to be one of the dark side......then the rest of us can be on the good side, ha ha ha. I am thinking in my head all of this before I mention it to Kaden. I am thinking well I can be Princess Leia or Padme. Thinking of all the beautiful dresses Padme wears, oooohhhh I could make one of those, that would be cool.
So I approach Kaden with this idea. He jumps right on board saying he wants to be Yoda. I say, let's let Zeke be Yoda, since he is the smallest. He says okay that's cool. I will be Anikin or Luke. Okay, I say. Who do you think I should be? I say Princess Leia or Padme? He says, Mom you need to be a jedi. I say what? You don't want me to be a princess? He says no way. There is even a girl jedi......(this is new to me - I told you I don't know much about Star Wars). He proceeds to get his Star Wars book and points out the wonderful girl jedi he wants me to be.........

I rest my case...........

Carrie,

I don't know where else to write to respond to your comment on our blog so I'll put it here. By the way, a Jedi would be much cooler. Jedi's can be princesses too, but princesses can't be Jedi's.
I do claim Gregg as a friend, and a close friend at that. As for his non-mushy side, I never got that close to him in high school, if you know what I mean, to know if he ever had one. However, we did watch a sunset together on top of a cliff in Zions canyon our junior year I think.
If I had to guess why, and I think I will, I would say it is from listening to heavy metal music very loudly for a good part of his life.
Tell him "FEDA BETA CRA" for me will you.

This post is insanely funny. I can totally see Kayden suggesting Carrie be the "Girl Jedi". I seriously crack up every time I read this post and see that Jedi picture.

Job well done!

That is so hilarious!!! One of the funniest posts I've ever seen. :)

I think I might pay money to see you in that costume. Pretty snazzy!
