ninja sensei

I had a coffee date last Sunday. N was interested in tagging along for the car ride downtown. She wanted to go to the library just down the street from my coffee date at NuVibe.

I splurged on buying my kid a smoothie, stepped toward the picture windows and pointed her in the right direction toward the library. A block and a half straight-shot in that one direction. Then I hesitated a moment before leaning down to discretely ask whether she was aware she was still wearing her ninja mask?

She rolled her eyes at me. Slurped the smoothie through its straw, and squared the face piece of her mask over her nose. Without a word she walked out the glass door, into downtown Lincoln, without a speck of self-consciousness.
