A Battle of Wills

Carson had a high fever tonight which led to us having to miss the Christmas Eve service and spend most of the night on the couch watching movies. At one point I assume Carson started feeling better because he got off the couch, started talking, and went to get his books to read. Which brings me to my story.
He got his Star Wars alphabet book and got to the letter D which of course has a picture of Darth Vader. Carson proudly yelled:"that's Darth Vader." I preceded to go through the book and help him with other pictures. Then we watched Darth Vader on tv. When we came back to the book Carson looks at Darth Vader and says:"that's not Darth Vader." And me in my infinite wisdom inform him he is wrong and that it is indeed Darth Vader. Carson persists that it is not Darth Vader and that it is a Stormtrooper. And I continue to reason with my two year old son by saying and I quote:"Dude, Darth Vader is black and Stormtroopers are white."
It is at this point that I realize Carson is just contradicting me for the fun of it. So as I am reasoning with my two year old, he is just playing around. So I ask you, who is training who?

Happy Holidays
Kevin
