So yesterday we woke up slammed under about a foot of snow, which is pretty rare around here.
Since the kids had no school and Dan couldn’t drive to work — streets icy — I decided to make waffles for breakfast.
Which is how come I was at the kitchen window, with Robert and Eric helping me, when we saw the masked man cut across our driveway and slither towards our backyard. He wore a black track suit and a black mask and hat, and he moved like something out of a James Bond Movie.
I stared, excited and more than a little scared. A ninja? Here? Why? Did he think we were the ones who killed his leader?
And then he opened the back gate, got the trash can, started pulling it towards the curb. He saw us and spoiled the ninja effect by waving a cheery “hello.”
Yep. Trash collecting ninjas. Who’d have thunk it.

Why doesn’t someone grab my trash can from my back yard on snowy days? *is jealous of trash ninja*

I hate to say it, but with my imagination, I would have thought ninja first, too, and trash guy later. I mean, black mask, etc? Of course he was a ninja. He just *wanted* you to think he was the trash guy! (clever disguise!)

Are you sure it wasn’t a bunch of squirrels who grabbed your trash can to lull you?

I bet it was someone looking for your notes on the next shifters novel and not really a trash guy.

Well now you know. The next time you get a foot of snow on a trash day, get up early and fix some coffee. put it in one of those cheap stainless steel thermos’ you can find at any wally world or sporting goods stores. When the trash ninja shows up again toss him the thermos. He’ll probably drop to his knees at your feet and start immediately thanking you profusely. It’s either that or he’ll start worshipping you as a benevolent goddess. :)
