In: Be Honest, Kim & Jason TV, Maintain Perspective

Grown-ups have a way of complicating things. We are addicted to subtlety. Nuance. Shades of grey. One of the things I admire most about children is their ability to cut to the chase. They’re honest. They tell it like it is. And they don’t mess around with unimportant details.

This video gives the rundown of Star Wars Episode IV from the perspective of a 3-year-old. One important life lesson: don’t be like the shiny guy. The shiny guy always worries. Even 3-year-olds know that worrying is a stupid waste of time. Proof yet again that kids are experts at spotting Adultitis.

P.S. Anybody know where I can get me one of those “little light-up swords?”

Even funnier–the 23-year-old parody of the 3-year-old

My little Sam loves Star Wars- He just turned 4 and knows more about Star Wars than anyone I know. I once was watching Episode IV when look was fighting Darth Vader in the clouds and Luke lost his hand. During the scene Sam was pretending to fight Darth Vader- he rolled into the kitchen out of sight. About the same time Luke lost his hand. Sam during his acting threw his light saber down the stairs. I jumped up thinking he fell down the stairs. Instead he came stumbling and groaning pulling his shirt sleeve hiding his hand. I smiled with his cleverness.

She reminds me so much of the daughter of a friend of mine. (Who is a little older now then this little girl… But has the same way of talking.)
