Get it? Huh? Do ya?
Maybe it's because I'm a dork when it comes to playing with words, but I thought it was adorable!
Seven-year-old and Star Wars fanatic Ray, not so much. "It's FORCE Mom! May the FORCE be with you."
"Yea, I know, but it's May 4th, it's a play on words. Isn't it kind of funny?"
"No."
A good mom probably would have let it drop there right? Well, good thing I never said I was a good mom! ;)
No, I had to keep pursuing it. Keep saying it trying to help me see the humor in it. He didn't. After some foot stomping and pouting (his, not mine), I let it go.
I had to give it just one more shot at bedtime though. I did manage to get him to crack a smile. Robby, however, came running in from the room next door to inform me, "Mom! It's may the FOUR-se be with you. FOUR-se. You said it wrong." Sigh.
But don't worry, next year, I'm sure I will be able to help him better understand!
In the meantime, "May the fourth be with you!"
Did you steal that from Dan Jones post?
ReplyDeleteHA! No. Just saw his. Kath had posted it on my FB wall so I got a text from her to tell the boy-z.
