Wow -- twice in one week here.    Last week a woman in a rural part of the county set her double wide on fire in the middle of the night and left her two young children in it to die. 

Just this afternoon a father in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Charlotte called 911 (my brother was the dispatcher) and said that he had hurt his twin 5 year old daughters because they were acting up and that he was going to kill himself.  When Medic and the Fire Dept. arrived they found one the little girls on the front lawn with a buther knife in her chest.  Unfortunately both of the girls died and the father is now in custody.   

Just before Christmas a 3 month old girl was admitted to our local hospital with both arms and both legs broken, multiple rib fractures and a fractured skull.  Her father was arrested for that.  On Christmas Eve a 6 month old baby boy from Charlotted died from a beating his father gave him.

What the hell are these people thinking?

I just wanted to share this.  My son just turned 4 and has been a Star Wars fan for a while.  He loves the OT -- doesn't care too much for the PT.  He especially loves John Williams' score.  After I put the kids down for their naps today I came back upstairs to check on them.  I heard something in his room so I listened by the door.  I realized he was singing the IMPERIAL MARCH!  This went on for about 10 minutes.  He always asks me to "sing Star Wars mommy."  He usually sings "Jesus Loves Me" or "Twinkle, Twinkle" before he goes to sleep.  This blew me away!  Makes a mother proud!   So I was wondering -- has anyone else had any great SW moments with their kids/nieces/nephews/Godchildren/etc.?
