Daniel's Sword

Daniel's been reading some books about Vikings lately . . .


. . . which is probably why he spent most of today
with his plastic Minecraft sword sheathed on his back
(i.e. stuck down the back collar of his shirt).
Maybe he liked feeling prepared to fend off any fearsome beasts he might encounter . . .


. . . like this toad we saw at our swim lesson.


He probably also thought his sword would come in handy
when he played One Deck Dungeon with his siblings.
Daniel's noble blade might have intimidated the giant scorpion . . .


. . . if his sister's fairy adventurer hadn't made an epic magic roll
and finished the thing off with a single spell.
I guess there's more than one way to kill a scorpion.
(Fun fact: Red Grandma swears that hairspray is a scorpion hunter's best friend.)
