Life as we know it

A little bit of everything that my life has to offer.

The Catholic Star Wars Fan

For those of you who have seen Star Wars or know anything about Star Wars will get a good chuckle out of this.

I wonder when something has become too much apart of our life.... how much is too much?

The other day I had to run into our local grocery store on the way home to pick up an essential item for the supper I was making. I unload all three kids out of the van and head inside. Ahh gotta love the stores with the automatic opening doors. At this particular store the produce section is directly inside the doors. I am choosing some banana's, look down and Trent is gone. I ask Joseph, not so calmly by the way, where Trent was. He was at the door. I ask "why is he at the door?"

I go over to the door to get Trent and he is swinging his arm at the door. He looks up at me with his eyes wide and says "MOM! I have the force!" mmmmhmm. "You have the what?"
"Mom, look I have the force" as he once again thrusts his arm at the door and it opens. He waits a moment thrusts his arm again and it closes. Ahh the force. Trent still believes he has the force and can force the door's at places. I really dread the day when his innocence is lost and he realizes that he does not in fact have the force and it is simply the invention of the motion sensor.

So another Star Wars anecdote of when is it too much??? Joseph attends a Catholic school and at Church there are a few things that the priest says that the general reply is "and also with you".
Is it too much when Joseph is watching a Star Wars movie and Yoda says "May the force be with you" and Joseph replies to the TV screen "and also with you."
Would that be the force of Catholicism or the Catholic force?
