The dark side
After watching an episode of Star Wars miss Jana says "I like the dark side mum". Oh dear what am I to do with that.
Jana is preparing me for teenage hood - drop a bombshell and see how my parents react. "mum I got married on the weekend", "I got a tattoo", "I'm pregnant" ......scary.
Perhaps they should call puberty the "Dark Side"...it's a time when they work out who they are and decide whether they are with the Empire or the Imperial side. Or something like that anyway. So we are Yoda in the scheme of things, guiding them to do the right thing, listen to their heart and feel their way through life. "There is no TRY there is only DO. To try is to fail" and all that.
Luckily I have a few more years before she loses that innocent way of thinking and enters the dark side. Let's just hope she comes out of it on the right side :)
