Qui-Gon Jinn: “Tell them we wish to board at once.”
Radiant VII captain: [on comlink] “Yes, sir. With all due respect, the ambassadors for the Supreme Chancellor wish to board immediately.”
Nute Gunray: “Yes, of course. As you know, our blockade is perfectly legal and we’d be happy to receive the ambassadors. Happy to.”
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
My sister-in-law, Queen Jamillia, must have felt that way when we descended on her house last Thursday. One teenaged boy who never stopped eating, two fatigued adults who had just driven across several large Midwestern states, and enough knitting and cross-stitch paraphernalia for an entire legion of visitors.
Dad Windu got several days of uninterrupted relaxing. The weather cooperated nicely, hitting the high 80s, so we spent several hours at the local pool before heading home for grilled steaks and birthday ice cream cones. The backyard and playgrounds were put to good use. My niece, Dormé, got to snuggle up with Dad Windu as much as she liked (her dad is spending the year in a combat zone). My mad knitting skills resulted in Padawan Learner getting a very manly iTouch cozie and my nieces Dormé and Versé got cupcakes and a washcloth/towel set for their play kitchen.

Best of all, Queen Jamillia got to sleep-in past 6 am for two whole days in a row. Talk about luxury!
Looks like a great time. I love that beautiful blonde hair.
What a great time! How wonderful for the baby to get some time with DW.
You have all the best lines! I sooooo want to steal that one. Would that make it the Clone Wars?
Mom #1 – Isn’t her hair amazing?
SabrinaT – Yes, I think she misses the physical and rough-housing aspect of her dad very much these days. I’m sure your boys go through much the same thing.
Miss Maccy – Nope. It’s from the first of the new trilogy, The Phantom Menace, at the very beginning of the movie. (psst – steal away)
