"Can you get the Amidala?"

"We need the Amidala!"

Can  you guess what it is? 

No, we don't have Padme hanging round our house. It's........

a pillow!

One of those curved, neck-y kinds of pillows. And when you wear it on your head (don't ask) it makes you look like you have a Queen Amidala head-dress on.

Oh, alright. My son put it on once and I commented on the resemblance and he did a very good imitation of Q.A. and we all fell about laughing and that's what it's been called ever since.

And it's what we use to stop the baby's head from flopping all around in the stroller or the car. Though we don't need to use it so much anymore. Sob!

Why does everyone have one?  One of those funny family sayings- that's what I meant.
