Elmo: But wait, Elmo surrenders!

Kai: Too late. You and your third-person self-narration will die!

Elmo: Whoopsie, Elmo fell down.

Fabulous shot. How did you nail the timing?

My reflexes were honed by the holy monks who live in seclusion upon the mountain peaks of Solla Sollew. Hours of intense training, fueled by European espresso and a burning desire to play with action figures has made me the camera ninja I am today.

Okay, actually I spotted Kai attacking things with the slinkies and thought it might be a good pic. I think he was surprised I wasn't telling him to knock it off.

We looked around for a good target and Elmo didn't duck fast enough. (All the other toys took one big step backwards when we asked for volunteers.) Then I lined up the shot and said, "Go for it!" It took fewer shots than I expected to catch those two frames.

My husband says I'm a terrible influence on our kids.

You're an awesome influence! Weaponizing previously benign toys is one of the great joys of childhood!

There are no benign toys! No one is innocent...

... and explosions are cool.

So this is how I get your parenting approval? ;) I won't worry so much about the Halloween banana.

Matt Dick said...

Hmm... good point about the approval thing. I guess it's time for me to start worrying about my own poor kids.

I was just teasing you Matt (and appreciating how similar our idea of fun is). ;)

I really enjoy your comments and probably would be making similar ones if the positions were reversed.

I've done nothing but smile at your gentle teasing.
