You know your child....

is a dork when they start becoming obsessed with Star Wars. A. has moved from O-D-D to
D-O-R-K in the course of three weeks. She wants to be an OLD MAN STAR WARS character for Halloween. She plays Star Wars at recess with her two dork friends (the boy with the lazy eye who only plays with the girls and the fat girl). I want her to be friends with everyone but COME ON!!!

You all remember those kids. They brought their Star Wars figures to school and played separated from everyone. THEY WERE FREAKSHOWS!! I was discussing my plight with another mother who said," Oh, I think it's cute." I asked her,"Is it cute because it is my kid and not yours?" She didn't know what to say. Everyone from my generation know what happens to the kids who obsess over Star Wars. Fast forward ten years and we are talking Dungeons and Dragons. Fast forward another five years and she has changed her name to Eden and is on tour with the Renaissance Festival dressed as a wench.

Maybe the lesbian jock crowd was not such a bad idea.
