Conversation yesterday between myself and Tracy:
Tracy: I decided to draw pirates for the mural in China Girl's nursery. But then I couldn't figure out how to include stuff for girls, until I decided to put in mermaids.
Royce: Girls can be pirates too.
Tracy: Well yeah, but I still want to draw mermaids.
Royce: Will they be Ninja Mermaids?
Tracy: Why would they be... Pauses, glares at me. There's no such thing as Ninja Mermaids.
Royce: Well how would you know, have you ever seen a mermaid?
Tracy: No.
Royce: Of course not. Hello! Ninjas!

Fortunately she was laughing too hard to hit me.
