In celebration of Father’s Day Luke wanted to rise early and make Gordy breakfast in bed. It should be noted here, that Luke would much prefer to have breakfast in bed daily. It should also be noted that any foray into breakfast in bed begins Luke shouting up the stairs, “Dad! Dad! Don’t get out of bed! We’re working on something down here!’ So much for sleeping in.
Since our house revolves around all things Star Wars it was only fitting to serve Gordy Yoda pancakes on his special day. Nothing says I love you dad more than a Storm trooper cut out of fluffy pancake dough or Darth Vader drenched in syrup.
When Luke and I procured the pancake cutters we also discovered a kid-size Star Wars apron for him to serve them in. Super cute, plus I figured it could be his standard apron. Yeah, like aprons get a lot of wear around here…nonetheless he strutted around in the apron and delivered breakfast with flair. Later in the afternoon, Gordy was surprised to find Luke sitting quietly by himself in his room and his apron stuffed into his garbage can.
Gordy asked, “What’s wrong bud? What’s your apron doing in the garbage?”
Luke held back slight tears and said, “I threw it away. It’s your day dad. I shouldn’t have a gift on your day.”
Gordy scooped him up, removed the apron from the garbage, held him tight and said, “You’re the best present ever bud.”
With a wink to me, they proceeded to check on the world they’re building online. I think they’ve built a pretty good one here.
