Mommy, slayer of "bad guys"

One night, a few weeks ago, I was putting the boys to bed, and Riley said, "Mommy, I am just really really scared to go to bed." I responded by saying, " You don't need to be scared, because Mommy would never let anything bad happen to you." Now, every night we go through this ritual, where Riley says he is scared and I say I will make sure nothing bad will happen to him. And now, since the boys are absolutely OBSESSED with Star Wars (I will save that subject for another post) it has morphed into, not only will Mommy make sure you are safe, if any bad guys come in the house, Mommy will take Riley's (or Connor's) light saber and get the bad guys with it. I imagine that in Riley's mind I am a butt-kicking Obi-Wan Kenobi, striking down any creepy Darth Maul characters who might try to come in the house. I just hope he always thinks I'm that cool.
