I know, you think it’s trick question.Well, when you are five and you love Star Wars, I mean really love Star Wars, you can do no better then to get a full complete Darth Vadar costume complete with a voice activated helmet that transforms your voice into – yes in deedy,  that deep breathing respirator voice. It was hot as hell that day but he went off to the swim cove, in his costume for all the world to see. The good thing about being 5 is that you not only usually get what you want for your birthday but you can parade around in it all you want and everyone will think you are so cute.

They don’t think you are so cute you when dress up in the little kids costume after he goes to bed and the number 5 is the just first of many numbers of your age, not the only number. And they don’t think you are so cute when you can’t hardly get the darn thing off your big fat head and you start to panic that you will go through life with this on your head and you are tugging and pulling like a crazy person to get this vice grip of a helmet off your head while you are jumping up and down. And they don’t think it is so cute when you ask for help and it comes out in that deep “Luke, I am your father” respirator voice even though you know inside the helmet the voice is really high pitched and freaked out. They laugh like hell.  But cute? Not so much.
