Padawan and Potty training

If you are not up on Star Wars, a Padawan is a child who takes up serious training under a Jedi Knight.


My sister has 3 children, Madison (7), Zach (5) and Jacob (2). The family was upstairs in the playroom watching a Star Wars movie and my sister, Kelly, and her husband Billy, were relaxing on the couch after a long day. Zack, who is totally engrossed in all things Star Wars, asked them to hit pause while he went to the bathroom. Kelly said that they she should probably take Jake to the bathroom too, since they were potty training. She said she was so tired and had potty trained 3 kids during the last 5 years or so and wanted someone else to do this one. She jokingly looked at Zack and asked him if he could handle taking Jake to the potty and teaching him how to use it.
He quickly replied with "Yes, I am the Jedi and he could be my Padiwan". Jake immediately jumped up and yelled "I not a Padawan".
Jake has picked up on Star Wars quickly since it is such a presence in their home, but I don't think he knew what a Padawhan was, however, he did know that he didn't want Zach to be in charge of him for anything.
