On the way to the Mac's today Pallas and I discussed our usual philosophies.
"Dad, can you beat Darth Maul?"
"Uh, well, he's pretty tough. But, it's ok because he's only pretend and even if he wasn't he lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." Because there's no way I could beat Darth Maul, ever.
"That's right, he lives in Star Wars."
"Yeah."
Little later. "But what if we scare Darth Maul and he comes and captures us or just, just lightsabers us?"
"He won't. And if he was scared wouldn't he run away?"
"Oh yeah."

It goes on like that every day, and I love every minute of it.
