Sticks and Lightsabers

When I gathered Patience from carpool that afternoon, with a big goofy smile on her face, she told me about a boy she’d made friends with at school.

“Did you play together?” I asked.

“Uh huh!”

“What did you play?”

With dreamy eyes she said, “We played tag with a stick.”

That evening during a dinner of steak salad, listening to “Sons of the Pioneers”, Yali and Patience decided to put on a floor show with Yali’s homemade lightsabers…

“Enjoy the show!” Yali declared, as they brandished their weapons.
