Ninjago

John came home from school yesterday and said "me and Rashub, Gus, Nick and
Eva are in Ninjago."  Daddy told him that was great and that he was happy that he and his friends were pretending to play Ninjago.  John said "We aren't pretending.  We made a wish to be Ninjago for real." 

Ninjago is a television show about 4 Lego boys that are ninjas. Each of the boys get their strength from the four elements.  John decided he would be Kai.  Kai is the ninja of fire.  His color is red and his weapon is a sword.  Nick is the blue ninja also known as Jay.  He is the ninja of lightening and his weapon is nunchucks.  Gus is the black ninja known as Cole.  He is the ninja of earth and his weapon is a staff.  Finally, Rashub is Zane or the white ninja.  He is the ninja of ice and his weapon is the shuriken.  Oh, I almost forgot Eva.  Eva is the only girl on the show.  She is Nya, the sister of fire.  The five of them got together and decided that they would wish themselves into Ninjago.

John told us before bed last night that he needed to wear something red to school.  "I need to wear red, because that's what the red ninja wears!"  Daddy helped John pick out some clothes last night.  This morning, John got up early and got himself dressed.  He was very excited to go to school today, because all of his friends were going to wear their ninja colors too.

After school today, John said "There was a problem at school today."  When we asked him what happened he said "The problem was that we didn't turn into ninjas today!"  I asked him if he and his friends were able play Ninjago today.  He said "No.  We can only play Ninjago if we turn into ninjas!"
