Children Wait Patiently For Heavily Fortified Tree House To Be Attacked

It’s funny because it’s true. Children Wait Patiently For Heavily Fortified Tree House To Be Attacked:

For the third uneventful day in a row, members of the Poison Ninjas Club awaited the invasion of their tree house, sources in the backyard of 1740 Sumac Road reported Monday.

“We spent all day Saturday making dirt bombs and dragging buckets of pine cones up into the tree house,” said 10-year-old club president Carrie Williams, her eyes trained on the southern border of the lawn. “When the enemy attacks, we’ll be ready. Actually, we’ve been ready for, like, three whole days.”

After standing guard throughout the weekend, Williams and her fellow Poison Ninjas left the tree unsupervised while they attended school on Monday. The Ninjas reconvened at the tree house after school and found their supplies undisturbed and no evidence of nefarious activity near the tree. Disappointed, they took up arms once again and began to stare out at the lawn in search of some sign of a threat.
