Thank You for the Ninjas

I don't think people often have the opportunity to be grateful for ninjas. Especially in their family. But not my family. No waaay. Let's face it, Sarah and I are sometimes like The Avengers, which makes her Hulk and me Thor. Or the guys from Ocean's 11, in which case I guess we would be the mormon twins. Point is, we're a pretty dynamic duo. And we can be like flippin' awesome ninjas.
Yesterday afternoon, we finally got home after 18 hours in the car driving back from Utah. WE had to leave the house for spring break because our kitchen floors are being refinished, so we can't walk on them right now. Anyway, we get home and i'm more than happy to go sit on the couch, watch the new episode of Doctor Who, and not move unless I deemed it necessary. Mom had forgotten a key to the front door because she thought we would just be able to walk through the kitchen on our socks and unlock the front door. The only problem with that was the fact that the floors were SOAKING WET and could not be touched. WE thought our only options would be to get back in the car and kill time until they dried. However, I was not willing to get back in that wretched car for another 2 hours, so i suggested that Dad give me a boost so i could jump over the front entry(which is hardwood) into the laundry room(which is tile). Brilliant, right? I thought so too. The jumping was ruled out though, because Mom didn't want the outline of me in her floors forever, just in case I fell. Next, i suggested we  hold a ladder horizontally and i shimmy into the laundry room, grab the key, and throw it out to dad. In the end, we propped two boards on Dad's legs and Sarah slid into the laundry room grabbed the key, and slid back up. Mission accomplished! I. Am. Genius. Call me big-headed but hey, this was my moment of glory. I saved the family from another 2 hours in the car. And yes, I did sit on my butt and watched Doctor Who, so I was pretty happy. Today in church after Mom told the story in Young Womens, Sarah's friend Haley told us she can imagine our Mom praying and saying something along the lines of "Thank You for giving me two ninjas for daughters."Aw shucks. ;)
