Ninjas never give up.

AK was coming in for the morning hug the other day. She suddenly stopped short and said, "Mom do you smell bad?"
As I had just gotten back from a morning run and not yet had a shower, I responded, "Yes."
AK nodded, turned away and went to lay down on the couch instead.

Every Thursday at storytime, while Ms. Yolanda is reading books (in English) to the children, Owen walks across the library, grabs a Spanish board book, and brings it back to me to read to him. Every single time.

The other day Owen came charging through the living room shouting, "The tomatoes are coming! The tomatoes are coming!!! I shoot them!!!!!"

Claire: Come on, we're ninjas. Ninjas never give up.
Owen: Ninjas don't wear socks.
