My son — who is six — and I were watching TWiT 266 tonight while I was making dinner. Leo came to the ad for TWiT network sponsor Carbonite Pro, and my son's eyes lit up.

Child: Mom! They're talking about Carbonite!

Parent: Yes, they're a cool company that's a sponsor on our network. We use them to back up our computers and keep our stuff safe.

Child: [pauses] ...Do they have a license from George Lucas??

Parent: Good question!

(Turns out they don't need one. But you never know.)
