Jamie has been into castles and knights for some time. He views knights as a sort of early super hero and the whole pageantry business seems to fascinate him. Also, swords are like light-savers, as he calls the weapon from Star Wars, so they must be cool.
He had been asking for sometime for Santa to bring him a castle, which Santa duly did, though not the accompanying 2-headed dragon. So this morning he got up and started playing with his castle and had some questions. This was further prompted by having heard "American Pie" in the car yesterday. He was very interested by the references to the King and the Jester, so he wants to know what the knights do, the jester etc. Sarah did some explaining and then he asked, "Are there really knights?" (He does a lot of this these days trying to figure out what's real and imaginary.)And then he asked, "Are there really knights in the castle of New Jersey?" Now Sarah was confused. She tried to gently suggest that she wasn't sure that there was a castle of New Jersey, but he vehemently protested, "No, Mom, Connor and Dad and I all saw it." Soon she realized he was talking about the Medieval Times restaurant in Lyndhurst which we drove by. New Jersey truly is a magical place!

Or,as I always say;'Bada bing,bada bam,bada boom!"
Maybe one day Jamie will be the King of New Jersey. I'm sure he'll do very well.
