she she won't get a scratch


In what is perhaps the best moment spent at work to date, this mom and a little boy who was like 6 years old were looking at our Star Wars stuff, and obviously the kid was old enough to have maybe seen the movies and know they are cool but not really old enough to really know anything ABOUT them, so he brought the sandwich cutters over to me and asked me what the shapes were, marking the first time that someone has asked me a question at work where my answer got to be, "That's the Millennium Falcon, you know, Han Solo's ship," and "I think that's a Tie Fighter?" (respectively).
Which is great, since my usual answers to work questions are things like "Oh um I'm not sure let me go check" or "Yep that salt cellar is $49.95" or "Our gift wrapping is complimentary but the wait will be about 45 minutes," and none of the people I say those things to are NEARLY as excited about those answers as that little Asian bro was.

Side note: Tie Fighter shaped sandwich? RIDICULOUS. Also, those cookies are adorable but I really REALLY wonder who in the actual world outside of WS Corporate has done that kind of decorating work. I mean shoot that Boba Fett looks like he is about to jet pack through my computer screen and cart my po to Tatooine! SHOOT.

Haha. Once those go on clearance, let me know! I think many people will overlook their awesomeness. I plan on taking full advantage of their ignorance.
