Frith O’Steen

Last night at dinner:

Sean: Hey, Decker - I really like that Star Wars cookbook you gave me for my birthday. Should we try making something from it this weekend?

Decker: Uh-huh - Wookiee Cookies! But we don’t have a Chewbacca figurine, like in the picture.

Sutter: Chewbacca is a monkey!

Decker: Um, Sutter, I think you have that wrong. I think you mean, Chewbacca is a bear!

Sutter: No, Chewbacca is a monkey! He says oo oo, oo oo!

Sean: Actually, guys, Chewbacca is a Wookiee, remember?

Decker: Oh yeah, I forgot, because he looks kinda like a bear.

Sutter: Chewbacca is a bear!

Sean: A bear? Did you see Chewbacca at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum today, Sutter?

Sutter: No!  Chewbacca is a wookie!

Decker: But he looks like a bear.

Sean: He’s kinda more like a gorilla.

Frith: Isn’t he also like a person, too, though?

Sean: Oh yeah - he’s actually older than Yoda even! You find that out in one of the movies.

Decker: But he doesn’t talk people talk!

Sean: No, he goes “ROWRRRRR” (inflected with lots of gargly noises in throat).

Frith: Or this: “RRRRRROOOOWWR” (a higher pitched version of Sean’s Chewie noise)

Sutter: Chewbacca is a monkey!
