A Great Disturbance
This morning, my mom was complaining because I had fallen asleep the night before and left one of my bedroom lamps on till 6 AM. When I asked which lamp (I have two), she said it was “the one beside your guys.” (“guys” meaning the Star Wars statues on my end table.) You’d think that after all these years of living with me, she’d have picked up such basic Star Wars terminology as “Stormtrooper”, “Obi-Wan” and “Grievous”. Come on, Ma.
