The Force is..... driving me crazy!

Hunter is obsessed... I repeat, obsessed with Star Wars. Reasons I know he is obessed:

1. When I look at his papers from kindergarten, especially coloring pages, I see his efforts to color the actual assigned picture compared to his sketches on the back. On the actual picture I see a scribble (or two). On the back I see detailed pictures of Darth Vader, Yoda, and many many light sabers.

2. When my mom calls, Hunter demands to speak to her. First on the agenda- "Grandma, you need to buy me a green light saber."

3. When I ask Hunter questions about kindergarten, I am informed that "Darth Vader is good" and "Obi Wan carries a green light saber."

4. During trips to Target, Hunter tries to sneak the Star Wars movies into our cart. So far, we have caught him every time!

5. During trips to Target, Hunter has to make a visit to the Star Wars aisle. What do we look at? Light sabers of course!

6. What is Hunter going to be for Halloween? Darth Vader

7. I read to Hunter ever night before bed. Recently, the only book I am allowed to read is "Darth Vader and the Dark Side"

8. Hunter once told me, "Mom, I want to go to the dark side." In my head I said, "Oh Hunter, you are often there!"

9. Hunter is allowed to watch some TV before bed. As I type this, Hunter is watching a movie. You guessed it: Star Wars!

10. I admit, at first, I was so excited that Hunter was expressing a strong interest in something. But I tell you what, words like "the force," "Jedi," "light saber" are starting to make me want to scream!!!!!!!!
