I like to think I’d never be the kind of parent who would try to inflict my values on some other kid. I don’t even really want to do it with my own kid — although I haven’t been a mom long enough to truly try this theory out. Let’s just say I’m hopeful.

I’ve been thinking about banned books this week, and I do know I won’t take books off my shelf out of worry of what the kiddo might see someday. That said, the hubby tested my resolve when we were — of all things! — discussing Star Wars. Now, I am of the opinion that the “prequels” should never have been made and mentioned that, acknowledging this fact, perhaps the kiddo doesn’t need to know about them. Which, of course, caused the hubby to (rightly) call me out. Shouldn’t the kiddo decide for himself about the prequels when he is ready? Who am I to say which episode is best?

He is so smart. I guess that means I have to get the new box set…sigh.
