Me: "Honey, take that off. No armour at the table."
Later, during dinner.
Mr. Munchkin: "BELCH"
Me: *horrified look*
Mr. Munchkin: "What? I'm a boy!"
Mr. Ninja: *falls on floor laughing*
And even later.
Mr. Ninja: "You know those little holes on the sides of Darth Vader's mask? I bet one of them is for his soup straw and the other is for his apple juice sippy cup. And no, Darth Vader can't have jello - it won't fit through his grille."
*facepalms*
We are such a geek household.
Oh, and in yarny news - went to Gaspereau Valley today. Fiber filled post to follow. Also, I think that I may have angered the household gods in some pantheon somewhere...came home, and noticed that there was a spider spinning a web on my Louet. I'm guessing that the bad karma that I'm going to get for squishing said spider is going to seriously jinx any spinning I try for the next little while. I always feel bad about squishing spiders - does anyone else apologize to bugs pre-squash?

So, armor. Were you at a Ren Faire or is this business as usual in the Ninja household? :o)
On the question of insects, I don't really apologize so much as warn of imminent death. I do, however, consider the Karmic effect - briefly.
I think that the spider is a good sign. Gives your spinning the blessing of an expert.
Actually, I don't squish spiders. One of my many and varied superstitions (ask me about the penny superstitions some day!). In my house we rescue spiders with a glass and a piece of paper, and release them into the wild. Or, in the winter, release them into the furnace room. Besides, if you squish a spider, it might rain. Too much spider squishin' been going on lately, if you go by the weather we've been having!
I rescue spiders when the children are watching...but kill the silverfish with probably more vengence than what is necessary.
I was thinking the same as Meegiemoo though, about the spider on your spinning wheel. We shall see...
What's funny is that Mr. Happy and I have had similar conversations - and he's way older than 3.
I suspect Mr. Ninja was wearing the armour cuz it's purples, and we all know how hard it is to get purples. Wait, it was the munchkin wasn't it? Heh!
I usually just leave spiders be, or take them outside if need be. They don't bother me too much. That munchkin is a cutie.
