Yoda's Magical Power Shake

Most of Zenchai’s clothes are hand-me-downs from Claude’s cousin who has three boys. It is really fantastic to have these gifts of clothes. I am really grateful for these donations. It just feels so much more eco-friendly and less consumerist. I have never been one to buy brand name children’s clothing. It just seems silly and a bit wasteful. So we are often given items of clothing with characters on them that Zenchai isn’t familiar with (mainly because we do not watch any TV or allow ourselves to be sucked into the commercialism.)

Here is a little excerpt from yesterday morning as I was dressing Zenchai.
I start putting a top on him when he says:
Z: I don’t like my superman top it is too tight in the neck.
M: I think you mean your Yoda top and this isn’t your Yoda top.
Z: Who is Yoda?
M: Yoda is a little green man with magical powers.
Z: Mommy I have never seen magical powers before.
M: Do you know what magical powers are?
Z: What are magical powers mommy, I have never seen them before?
M: Hmm…Well magical powers are when you lift something super heavy with your little finger or can heal someone that is really sick. There are lots of magical powers, but I can’t really think of any. I’ll tell you more as I think of them.

Later that night at dinner time:
M: Have your broccoli. That is how Yoda got his magical powers.
Z: That is how Yoda got green.

This morning pre-breakfast:
Z: I want another one of those shakes that you made yesterday.
I make him a hemp shake, but today it is much greener than yesterday’s version.
Z: This is how Yoda gets his magical powers.
Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.
Z: I am going to have magical powers now like Yoda.
