Darth Vader

Chickadee Thursday

Turkey has a Darth Vader mask in his closet. And for the longest time, Chickadee was terrified of it. She didn’t want to see it on the shelf or on any of her siblings, and sometimes, she would freak out if she saw Turkey approaching the closet, because she was certain he was going to put it on.

Isn’t that awesome? What a nice treat for a little boy who doesn’t feel well!
