Live, from the Morgan Household
Actual dinnertime conversation at our house:Ian, pretending to be Darth Vader, is wandering around the kitchen (this -- both the pretending and the wandering -- is typical). He "slips," and falls down on the ground.
Ian: Darth Vader fell down on the Dark Path!
Katie: There's no Dark Path. What are you talking about?
Ian: Yes dere is. Yoda says dere's a Dark Path.
Katie: Mommy, is there a Dark Path?
Me: Well, yes, there is, but it's metaphorical.
Katie: What is meta-...meta-?
Me: [Offers some kind of random explanation of a metaphor involving getting on my nerves -- subtlety is not my strong suit.]
Katie: Whatever. I can't understand what Yoda says in that movie [Return of the Jedi] anyway.
Me: Why, because he's 900 years old?
Katie: He's not that old in real life!
Me: What?
Katie: You know, in real life, he's not that old.
Me: Katie, he's a puppet. Yoda is a puppet. You know that, right?
Katie: Really?
Ian: I always fought he was a person in a costume.
And we just saw the Muppet displays at the Smithsonian, too!!
[Approximately 24 hours before my status as temporary single parent is relieved. Thank God.]
