Sleeping Duty

I told him ...

"The universe is in a constant state of balance between chaos and order, my son.

You must discipline yourself. You must be prepared at any time, for it is your duty to wield a righteous sword of justice, to bring order and render balance.

You must be ready, for the task is yours and yours alone.

At all times, known and unknown.

It is the path laid before you.

For you know ...

... the way of the samurai."

Cute :-D

Did he fall asleep holding the sword or did you place it there?

very good question, rusty. and of the utmost importance as to whether this is a picture worthy of photographing much less publishing.

the answer is ... i walked in one school morning to rouse my youngest son for pre-school and i found himself asleep clutching a sword his older brother had as part of a halloween ninja outfit.

too bad he wasn't double-clutching it. that would have really made it look like he was ready for danger.
