My Gifted Son
This is a conversation I overheard my oldest two Gremlins having the other day while watching Star Wars II - Attack of the Clones.
A -(9-yr old girl): "Ack! They're kissing again!" Throws blanket over her head and hides, while mumbling incoherently to herself in total embarrassment.
B - (newly-turned 6 yr old boy): "What's the problem, A?"
A: "I don't like the kissing! Why do they have to have all that kissing?"
B: Rolling eyes while watching movie. "Anakin and Padme have to kiss to fall in love. And they have to fall in love so he can turn into Darth Vader. If they don't kiss and fall in love, he's got no reason to turn bad! Then there'd be no more movies! Think about it!"
*Sigh*...
*Big grin*
Does that just not warm your romance writer heart???? The six-year old boy gets it!

In other news...wild WILD weather here. Seriously. Last Saturday it was 75 degrees. DH got a sunburn on his neck and arms working in the yard. I got tan shoulders sitting in a tee and capris at the baseball game. Today? Snow. As in, not just a mix of snowy rain but S-N-O-W. My deck, yard, trees, cars...everything was white this morning. It melted pretty fast but still...snow? In April? In late April????? Wonky.

yeah, the weather has me wild. How am I supposed to lose weight before nationals if I can't get outside!
Teri
I don't know why she falls for Anakin. He's got such a temper, he's extremely moody, and doesn't think before he acts. Not stable at all. And the hair needs serious help.
George Lucas should have consulted with romance writers to get that Bad Boy person just right.
(Guess what we've been watching, too.)
Wow, that's nuts! Snow! It's finally in the 60s here... but only for a few days then back to the 40s and 50s.
LOL, Teri. There's always the gym. Though I love running outside so much more than inside on the treadmill.
I want spring to return!
LOL, Kendra. I don't know why she falls for him either! He's WAAAAAY moody. And angry and brash and he POUTS. I don't like his portrayal either. They could have done so much better!
Oh, man, Marissa. I'd kill for 60-degree weather right now. No snow today, but it's rainy and cold. I'm thinking of climbing inside Kendra's luggage and hitching a ride to Hawaii with her later in the week. ;)
We had snow this morning when we woke up, but it's gone now.
PS: I tagged you! Head on over to my blog. I know, I hate these things, but hey, I get to know people.
