Octopus

Ninja: I wish I could be an octopus
Me: Octopus? Why?
Ninja: Because octopus has 3 hearts so if someone shoots you, you still have 2 hearts and you are still alive.

Not sure if I should be happy about his knowledge about octopus or concerned about his thoughts on mortality.

Stay like this

Ninja: I wish I could stay like this.
Me: Like this? Like what?
Ninja: I want to stay like this so I can hug you and kiss you.
Me: What do you mean?
Ninja: Daddy said when I am a teenager I cannot hug and kiss you and that is part of life.
Me: That's not what Daddy meant. You can always hug and kiss mami and daddy.
Ninja: Even when you are mad at me?
Me: Yes. We will always be happy to be hugged and kissed by you.

Oh my ninja, you are always going to be the sweet child of mine...
