Yesterday Mahra and Quincy were talking about how movies often try and teach a lesson. Being that they are his favorite movies, Mahra asked Quincy what lessons he has learned from Star Wars. He started talking about how Luke turned to the dark side, but then decided to be good and told the dark side to “X off”. X off. I like that. I think I’m going to start using it. And if you don’t like it… you can X off!
X off! I love it. It has all the weight and appearance and satisfaction of a very naughty word, but — surprise! It’s just a letter! I’ve said it before, but your kid is a smart.
If someone tells me to “X off you X’ing X,” should I be offended?
