Teach Your Children Well
Email received from my wife Friday afternoon, reproduced in its entirety here (names abbreviated to protect the innocent):
Subject: Star Wars
D. [8 y.o. son] spent 30 minutes in his room with E. [5 y.o. daughter], teaching her about Star Wars with his ships and your action figures. Now they are watching Return of the Jedi, D.'s choice since E. would like the Teddy Bears.
S.
I know I've done my job well to pass the SF torch to another generation.
You must be so proud. Probably as proud as I was when my then 3 1/2 year old looked at me and said, *cue spooky voice*, "Luke, I am your father".

This is after both of my sisters looked at our copy of Cryptonomicon and declared that they preferred Snow Crash.
I love my family.
