Lately, Zion has become interested in ninjas. It started with a shirt I gave Robert a year or two ago which boldy declares that "Pirates are way cooler than Ninjas". His interest grew when he watched the Beastie Boys video for "Body Movin", which features a ninja attempting to steal a tomato sauce recipe. Sometimes Zion pretends that he is a ninja.
Tonight Zion, Liel and I were playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. Liel's favorite part of the game is popping the marbles out of the chute next to her hippo (side note: the quality of this game has gone WAY DOWN since I was a kid, let me tell you. Flimsy plastic, box sized so that you have to disassemble the game to put it away, and the marbles are plastic! Pride, people! Pride.). I filled her chute and Zion leaned over, said "I am going to pop Liel's marbles out!" and started whacking away at the button. "Zion!" I shouted, "Stop! You know Liel likes to release her own marbles!"
"But I am a ninja!", Zion protested in an early attempt at self defense.
"Well", I said, "I would like you to be a nice ninja".
Zion scowled at me and flailed his arms about in frustration. Then he started rubbing his hands on my leg. "I am a sneaky ninja!", he shouted, "And I am wiping snot on you!"
