It was during one of the harsher storms a couple years ago, when the power was out and we were on the waiting list to get it restored. I had turned on the generator to keep the fridge powered, but there was a second plug and it was just me and the boy in the house for the day.
He asked me if he could watch Star Wars. He knows I love that universe but hadn’t seen anything of it at this point. I knew he’d watch Episode I, because the young Anakin looks so much like himself and his old man, and it was this moment that I knew he’d be watching with intent.
It’s a lot of fun, being a nerdy father and getting your kids to enjoy the nerdy things you do.
Happy late night Father’s Day, folks.
