Four Feet More

Tonight Vika and I were treated to a home theatrical, courtesy of Eamon. In a very dignified voice, he asked us to come see the President in his room. Then he quickly ran to his table, set down his light saber (sheathed in a gold, plastic scabbard to make it look more old skool) and banged his gavel (a light saber handle) to gain our attention. In a loud, clear voice, he spoke into a microphone (made of another light saber handle) and began telling us about money.

He pointed to a penny and said, "This money has Lincoln Log on it. It's one cent."

Then he took out a piece of paper and said, "These are the important rules that Lincoln Log wrote."

1. Keep people safe
2. Make sure no one really dies that much.
3. Don't say bad words, like "You're a loser!"
   

Next, he proceeded to show us the "Obama money," which wound up being a sticker with a picture of a whale tail on it because "Obama doesn't have money yet."

He began to tell us about Obama's rules, but became distracted by a green plastic crystal from his make-your-own light saber kit, which apparently was not where he thought it should be. After putting it away he stood up, and with a flourish of his hand sketched an elegant bow, thus ending his performance.

It was interesting, to say the least.

His presidential lesson also made it quite clear that the boy has entirely too many light sabers.
