The kids have been getting into Star Trek lately. I've written about their costumes. They also have been spouting lines--- Seven of Nine is a favorite: "Efficiency is relative," for example.
Luke write a paper about Kill Devil Hills and the Wright Brothers, and he included the Enterprise in his history of flight. Not sure that's right, but he's just in fourth grade, so who cares?
The best part is that he seems to have adopted me as his captain. He's absolutely tickled that you can call female captains "sir," so sometimes when I ask him to do something he'll stand at attention and say, "Sir! Yes Sir!" The funny thing is that he actually goes and does it. If he weren't treating me as a captain, he'd likely argue or complain or put it off. But when I'm a captain, he obeys.
Now if only I could be more like Janeway...
