The Force is without you grandpa!

Filed Under grand kids 

Sitting at the daughter’s house watching her two kids (same day as the licking the cookie thing), Alec says, “Grandpa want to play Star Wars?”

I said yes, and he and his sister went into their bedrooms, Aurianna came out with two plastic light sabers, a push of a button and a flick of the wrist and the plastic “blade” part extended out. She and I had blue light sabers, then Alec strides out with a light saber clipped onto each pocket. He pulls them off and flicks them open, one is red the other green.

Then the assault began! Both started attacking me, whacking me hard with the light sabers, I thrust and parried and blocked their blows and tapped their arms and legs, “There goes another limb, bwhahahaha.”

Of course, I was told light sabers cannot cut through skin. What? Yes they can, then they suddenly had metal suits on and of course, “Grandpa, they won’t cut through metal.”

I couldn’t get them to realize light sabers can cut through anything.

But I had to stop the game because grandpa was close to ending up covered in bruises and I could see something in their Mom’s house getting broken.

Dejected they took the light sabers away, then Alec comes out and asks if I want to play pirates, “Okay,” I said not thinking.

I hear a loud “Yarrrrrr,” and they both jump out twirling plastic pirate swords and attack.

I ducked and covered!

    I try to, even if they’re having a bad day then time with grandpa cheers them up no end. Plus I get to play with all the cool toys and visit toy stores again!

    We have fun and they like to come around and visit. I guess I am just a big kid at heart.
