Here: I have a minute to blog before I go pack for my Great Escape. Crichton (7), his best friend Cody (7), and Canon-my-Canon (3) are playing Lego Star Wars (Phantom Menace level), where no one really dies, just falls apart all lego-y and regenerates whole. Let me transcribe for you parts of their dialogue.
Kill them.
Why are these guys trying to kill us? We're one of them.
They're trying to run from us. They'll lead a droid army!
Turn into a droid hurry!
DIE! DIE!
Don't let any clones pass!
CLONE PASSING! CLONE PASSING!
Why do those clones want to kill me?
They're passing!!
KILL THEM!!!
DIE CLONES!
YEAH DIE!
Distract them so they can't come!
NOOO!!!
Come on we have keep ... [momentarily distracted by killing] ... killing!
HURRY THEY'RE COMING IN!
I CAN'T FIND THEM!
There by me, can you see me?
I can't get over there!
Come on, let's get in, it's the only way we can protect ourselves.
I think they were helping us, it usually takes longer to kill that guy [on of those big AT-AT Walker things].
COME ON!
Did you see that?
No.
There it is again.
What is that?
HEY! WHY ARE YOU KILLING US?
We have to die, it's our only chance.
Wait, no, we can go there.
OK, let's go!
This isn't going to hurt me; IT HURT YOU THOUGH!
Did you know they made Lego Star Wars and it's really people playing with these guys.
Yeah, did you know my dad, well, not my dad, but people are controling us and helping us move around and stuff?
YAY MONEY! (that was Canon)
Kill as much as you can! Kill everything! Kill the TV. I get the TV if it's the last thing I do? Hey, did you get the R6?
There is no R6.
Oh.
[end scene]

Now I have to go pack my crap.
If I have WiFi, I'll try to blog. Must charge everything. Must hope baby girl will be ok. Must be off. - Hey, does WiFI stand for wireless free internet? I think it does.
This doesn't count as high quality content, does it?
2 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
Sounds like they had fun!
Now, you go and do the same.
I've been procrastinating on posting about Lego Indiana Jones/Batman for a couple months now, but D- and I went through those games in a couple of hard-core weeks each, renting (didn't you guess?) the games from the library a week at a time and swooping back in to rent them as soon as they just re-shelved.
They are probably way inappropriate (i.e. definitely) despite the "Lego-ness", but Daddy can't be starved of videogames for another 10 years, can he?
And so my (then 4-year-old) son violently assaults pillows with pretend whips and Batarangs, while my wife rolls her eyes and sighs at me.
