Star Wars

ITV has been playing the original Star Wars trilogy Sunday nights at the family-friendly time of 4.25 pm, starting last week. Tonight we watched The Empire Strikes Back. Over dinner I mentioned I wished I had Darth Vader's ability to silence Sarah when she pestered me. I mimicked, "My dad is a tro- ack- ack-".

Sarah took to it immediately, and so for quite a while over dinner, she'd pester us until one of us would waggle some fingers at her, at which point she'd pretend to choke.
