I decided to share a couple of things with everyone here, in the spirit of Christmas. This here is a little skit that I wrote several years ago-

Quote

Setting: An Imperial Stormtrooper on guard detail, standing at an entrance. A group of 5 children come up
to him and swarm him.

Child 1 taps on the ST's stomach or chest.
Child 1:"Are you alive in there?"

Child 2 peers up at the helmet, looking hard at it.
Child 2: "How do you see out?"

Child 3 slips behind the ST and gives the ST a small push.
Child 3: "Are you sure it's not a droid?"

Child 4 looks the ST up and down.
Child 4: "Daddy said that Stormtroopers aren't droids."

Child 3 looks at Child 4, still giving small pushes to the ST.
Child 3: "Are you sure? It doesn't move like a person would."
Child 3 comes out from behind the ST on the other side.

Child 1 is still randomly tapping on the ST's stomach and chest armor.
Child 1: "I was told that droids are metal. This isn't metal."

Child 2 looks at the others.
Child 2: "I don't think it's alive at all. It's not moving."

Child 4 shrugs shoulders.
Child 4: "This is boring. Let's go."

Child 5 stands and watches everything, not saying a word.
As the group walks away Child 5 kicks the ST in the shin
then runs off.

The Stormtrooper turns his head to watch the children leave once they
head off, then goes back to his stance
