We live in a rural-y area. We have chickens, our neighbors have ducks, horses, cows, donkeys, goats, llamas and who knows what else. Lately, just at night, we've been hearing an unidentified animal. And that's all you need to know to understand the following exchange that took place the other day.
Ben: Have you heard that weird animal? It sounds like that one thing from Star Wars.
Megan: What, you mean a tauntaun?
Ben: Uh...
Megan: The one Han Solo cut open to save Luke Skywalker from freezing to death on the ice planet Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back?
Ben: Uh... yeah. Right.
Bonus: Sometimes when I walk into a building with automatic doors, I pretend to push them open with the Force. But only when nobody else is there.
Go ahead, make fun of me if you want--just be sure to include your own nerdy confession in the comments (Star Wars related or otherwise. I am no respecter of nerds.).

Often when I am sitting at the kitchen table and I realized that I have forgotten my water bottle I try and use the force to have it just fly over to me. Socker, it still hasn't worked, but I'm going to keep trying.
I can't tell you how many times I've said to myself "Accio burp cloth!" Maybe I should do a Harry Potter edition next...
I once killed the captain of my Death Star by suffocation using the force.
Then I flew to the Gamma Quadrant at Warp 9.
Then I woke up.
I have sooo tried to "Accio" random things, I'm still bummed that I never got an acceptance letter to Hogwarts...maybe the owel got attacked on its way over *sigh*
