Ninjago!

     Cartoon Network has this show on, starting its second season, called Ninjago. Not Ninja-go, like one would assume, pronounced NinJAAAgo.  Basically, it is Lego people in a Lego world who are both Ninjas and kids. Cartoon Lego people. Yes, you read that right. With their little pop off  Lego heads, you know, the ones hanging out in that other dimension with all of Barbie's shoes and half your damn socks. And their little Lego "C" shaped hands. They do almost have knees in the cartoon version, so they can like run and stuff. And dragons to fly around on. If you have not sat in a room while your children watch this show, you need to. Actual conversation:
  
   One kid, yelling at the TV: "Dude! Why are you fighting them off all by yourself? Why not call for help?"
  
     Different kid: "What's he gonna do, text? He has no thumbs!"
  
    Original kid: "Oh yeah. Right."
 
     Me: "This show is great! Haaaa!"
   
     Now, "Leroy" has this thing, he always has to "be" somebody in whatever he's watching, which makes us have to "be" somebody, too. Like "OK, Mom. I'm Dash, you're Elastigirl, and Dad is Mr. Incredible." Or "OK, Mom. I'm Stewie, you're Lois, and Dad is Peter." You get it. I am always the girl, since I'm the only girl in the house. In this case, I'm Nya, which is OK because she's pretty bad-ass. She's the smartest of the group, and travels around in this robot samurai thing that's pretty cool. But in order to remain the cool mom, I was watching the opening theme trying to learn everybody's name and who's who.
  
   The one who always wears red is named Kai, OK, like Cayenne peppers, they are red, got it. The one who always wears blue is Jay. Total gimmee there, blue jay. Cool. The one who always wears black is Cole. All right, change the spelling a bit and you have black as coal. I have got this down! Then the one who always wears white. Zane.     Zane?      Zane. I guess it was the whitest name they could think of. Well, what I really think is that someone suggested Trevor, but since everyone else only has one syllable they thought the white guy should, too. Then somebody said "What's the whitest one syllable name we can come up with?" and Zane was created.  None of the boys wants to be Zane when they play. See, even they know.
