More stuff on Star Wars

I went to the website howstuffworks to find new things about how stuff works. But guess what, they actually have stuff on Star Wars too. Check out The Sith Explained, and How Lightsabers Work. (It's just fun stuff, don't get over excited)

Why Star Wars is good for children

Somebody say she will boycott the blogs of bloggers who blog about Star Wars, and if they call her Jabba, be prepared to die. If she boycott the SW bloggers, how would she know who called her Jabba? Heh heh heh, 5Xmom, just couldn't resist this.

I think Star Wars is good for children. They will sit down and watch the TV when the Jedis take out their light sabres and fight, and will not disturb your kitchen.

They will fight with their light sabres only, and not throw other toys at each other.

When they cry, you tell them "Jedis don't cry", and they stop crying immediately.

They will stay in their room with their toy light sabres and not mess up your living room.

They will behave themselves so that Mummy won't call Darth Vader to come and take them away.

They say Mummy is prettier than Queen Amidala.

They say Mummy is a Jedi Queen.

Leonard says he is Obi-1, Lucas is R2D2 and Laurenz is C3PO

Lucas asked me why he is a robot, when Leonard is a man. Smart boy :)

Are you donkey??

Lately, Laurenz has been identifying himself with the shows he watch on TV.

Example:

Me: "What's your name?"
Laurenz: "Harry Potter!"
Me: "Hahahahahaha! No dear, what's your name?"
Laurenz: " Thomas.......Percy....Toby........James........." (characters from Thomas & Friends)

And Shrek is probably his favourite movie. He would hold my face in his hands, looked at me intently, and then asked "Are you donkey?"

Talking times

When our kids are babies, we keep trying to make them talk.

"Say "A"..... say "A" , baby".
"Say "mama", "mama".

And it goes on and on and on, until the baby starts getting sick of us and starts howling.

Then they grow up and they start to ask us questions or tell us things, and we just wished they would just go and watch the TV and stop bugging us with questions or tell us something we don't want to hear.

"Mum, cannot say shut up" --- Leonard
"Mum, why you got no penis?" --- Lucas
"You come back here now!" --- Laurenz

Of course there are sometimes when they say the most wonderful things that makes it all worthwhile.

"You are a good mother" --- Leonard
"You are the best mummy" --- Lucas
" I want nen-nen" (and pushing away the milk bottle while snuggling into my lap and lifting up my shirt to nurse) --- Laurenz
