At the Star Wars concert last Wednesday, we walked down to the concourse level during intermission to look for the movie props. I was the first to notice one, and I grabbed the 11-year-old's sleeve: "Blaine! Check it out! It's Han Solo, when he was frozen in that stuff." The six-year-old boy standing next to us looked up at me and said, "It's called carbonite."

I'm sure I imagined the what-kind-of-an-idiot-are-you,-lady look on his face.
