In Storyverse we tend to have scenarios that spread themselves out over a week or two. At the moment theBoy likes his stories to be craft-themed and that in the story he can re-create his masterpiece of the robot with pasta stuck to it with glue that has seemingly mystical properties. And because he decided to introduce this "magic glue" into Storyverse I decided that the government of China sent their ninjas after him to gain the glue's secrets (1).
At one point theBoy was inside the pasta-covered robot whilst the robot was in race-car mode. The ninjas had surrounded the race-car and were attempting various means of entry. One ninja foolishly tried to drill through the roof. theBoy rose up (I guess through the sunroof) and pushed the roof-drilling ninja off the car.
'And Chinese ninja rolls down the car and into the water and he's eaten by a shark and he's NEVER SEEN AGAIN!' yelled theBoy.
Now that's making sure. So for future stories I will have to remember that the usual gang of seven Chinese ninjas is now in fact just six.
theBoy sometimes tells a story to himself or, if he's with me, I will let him run with extended stretches of action, watching him pace back-and-forth with excitement. And sometimes during that, because he's so excited, he takes shortcuts with his words. In the ninjas' case he sometimes shortens it to "injas".
Aw ... that's adorable.
(1) At one point he said 'But Chinese ninjas, I don't have any glue left! So you have to go away!' I explained that because he knew how to make the glue they were going to take him instead and then make him give up his secrets. At that point he dove into the pasta robot and made for a speedy exit.
