Today, I facilitated a high ropes course that involves climbing up a tree, then walking across a tightrope to another tree. Sometimes the kids will decide that you have to kiss the second tree before coming down. Others will just hug it.

Today, my campers decided that the tree needed to be humanized with a name. They determined that it needed to have a gender-neutral name because everyone was kissing it and might not all be attracted to the same gender. Some names were suggested, like Alex, Chris, Sam, Ray/Rey, and Jess.

Then it was Carrie Fisher’s child doppelgänger’s turn, and everyone universally agreed that the tree should be named Han Solo. Even the boys were eager to kiss a tree named Han Solo. There were no arguments or wrinkled noses.
