What Would You Do With The Force?

Snippets and a quick update:
Boy 7: Dad, what would you do if I had the force?
Me: The force?
Boy 7: Yeah, you know. The Force.
Me: Well, I guess I’d want you to teach me how to use it.
Boy 7: No, I would use it when I wrestle with Boy 12. When he tried to do a move, I’d just, like, shaaaaaa! and he’d go flying up in the air!
Me: That would be way cool.
Boy 7: That would be awesome!
Me: You could also clean your room really fast!
Boy 7: No, that would be a waste of The Force.

My posts have slowed down lately because I have been doing some behind-the-scenes writing, including Part 2 of my extended Fathered Five story. I swear I didn’t want to write a long life history. But my blogging mentors say to do it, so I’m being obedient. However, I won’t foist it on you with a front page post. If you want to read it, follow the link. There will be pictures in it tomorrow.

My 8 yr old son mentioned to me over the weekend that he wished he had the force. He’d knock me down and slice me up with his light saber. He was pretty cranky this past weekend and said it with a sadistic charm.
That would be a waste of the force (in my humble opinion, not his).

I agree. I guess it’s a good thing he doesn’t have the force. In his scenario, though, the force with no light saber is not very forceful.

That.
Is.
Funny!

Mmm… the Force. What WOULDN’T you do if you had it…
I think I’d start by going berzerk on some of the nasty people at work, under the pretence they were sith lords in disguise. Leave non standing.
Then, I’d follow it up nicely by driving with my eyes closed and using the Force down a couple of major highways in Brisbane, just to freak people out. I might even fire some proton torpedoes to sink down a vent and blow up one of those lazy space stations people seem to leave lying around up here.
To end it evenly, I’d go for a run with a wizened midget with big ears on my back through the local forest. Might even meet a Force-induced vision of my dad and slash his dark helmet open.
…all that seems strangely familiar though…

I could definitely use the drive-with-the-eyes-closed skill. I have low tolerance for traffic, and that would do wonders for my mood.

[…] draw them out one at at a time. The boys LOVE it. It makes cleaning the room a breeze, even without The Force. Time management is kind of like that. A good time management book can help you create those little […]
