The book would be entitled, "I Wrote This Book to Make Alice Cry."

Henry: I want a book about Star Wars and star destroyers and death stars and ambulances and pumpers and tie fighters and star destroyers. And ladders.

Me: That would be some book!

Henry: Yeah. It's sort of my whole deal.

That is seriously awesome. I suspect that it would have quite the wide readership...

I think the ladders would be a nice touch.

Did he really say "its sort of my whole deal"?

The kid is a GENIUS.

Henry is too cool for school. And he's not even IN school yet. God, a three year old is so much smarter than me. My life has lost all meaning!

I like how he included the ambulances in case Yoda or Chewy gets hurt.

I am so sad our sons live 2000 apart. The way they both speak--it is as if they were twins separated at birth. So amazing.Well, except that mine is skinny with blond ringlets.

I sympathise with the Star Wars craze. This is a very difficult time for me, too. *sigh of resignation*

Have you figured out his costume yet for his first convention? I would just look at this as good thing. After all you may have a son for life, living in your basement, chatting geekily with his Dad about his purchase on Ebay of his new toy. Only he is 35.

I see the same future in my house with the Detroit Tigers baseball cards. Sigh. Somehow, the penis must make it so some part of the brain is bent wrong.

they need to have a star wars themed snakes & ladders game.

the book with the subtitle "I wrote this book to make Jill cry" is Richard Scarry's Cars and trucks and things that go. All fucking seventy-something pages of it make me weep as though I'm at a dozen simultaneous funerals.

Hey, I think my 5-year old wrote that book in what was left of his kindergarten journal, then tore out all the pages and tacked them up all over the walls of his room. The effect being that wherever you look in there, you are greeted with a Picasso-esque image of a smiling stick figure holding a blue stick and a headless stick figure (head over to the left) holding a red stick, titled "Luk kutn off drvatrs hed!"He's an author AND illustrator. Maybe he and Henry could collaborate. It would put you out of your misery, probably? Sorry about the pain. Ouch.

Very cool! So, anyway, hi. And every time I saw your blog's name linked to on blogs I frequent, the name got stuck in my head. For a week, I've been wandering around with "finslippy finslippy" in my head. I've come up with quite a few ideas for what it means, and I still don't know. But anyway, long way around to say I've been enjoying your blog now. Even if I never know what finslippy means. But seriously, tell me anyway. Seriously. And I'll be linking to you.

[Lassa]

That cracks me up! I'm sure you know this, but your kid has got it going on!

Of course, having posted so much about your burning hatred of and rage against George Lucas and Star Wars and all, the Google ads are now for lightsabers and tie-fighters.

Irony, she's a bitch, no?
