The Ninja

I had some premade frosting in the fridge, ya know the kind in the short little tub for those of us who like to bake & make the EASY way. Well, Damon was also very aware of the frosting in the fridge. While the rest of us were upstairs Damon kept taking little breaks and running downstairs. I was in denial that he was up to no good. Hours later we came downstairs to start on dinner. On the counter top was the lid to the frosting tub, but no frosting tub insight. I looked at Josh and Josh looked at me, and the search was on.

We checked the garbage to see if he polished off the container even though it was 3/4 full. No container. We checked the fridge to see if he put the frosting back just minus the lid. No frosting. We checked the dining table, phone desk, and the garbage can in the bathroom......no frosting. Soon we found the frosting out by the TV, with one large severing spoon in the container (for Damon a small normal sized spoon just would not have worked for this type of eating task).

We called Damon downstairs and brought up the fact that the frosting had been eaten and was out by the TV.
Josh asked, "Damon, do you know how this frosting got out here in the living room?"
Oh, the ninja ate it.
The Ninja?!?
Yeah the sneaky ninja got the frosting and ate it out here.

Of course this is the answer he gives whenever he (Damon aka "The Ninja") has done something he knows he shouldn't have. He blames it on this mysterious and mischievous ninja character.

We gave him a chance to tell the truth but he insisted that it was the ninja. We knew he was lying and so he was sent to his room. We could care less about eating frosting, but the lying doesn't go over well. But we really do enjoy the ninja stories because who else blames things on a ninja?!?
