Trust Me- I'm a Ninja

One of Bubba's (Uncle Jeff) favorite sayings when Kalaya was little was - " Don't mess with me... my niece is a ninja" I'm not sure if he got that saying from the fact that she had insane stealth skills that allowed her to pickpocket your back pants pocket or purse in 10 seconds flat when you picked her up or the fact that she is a master of disguise.
For example:
Special Agent K ( names changed to protect the innocent) on mission in the Middle East- looking for the Cave of Wonders OR innocent Persian bystander looking for a new carpet in the local bazaar?

Special Agent K following a possible terrorist threat against the president at Martha's Vineyard OR local women's gardenclub enthusiast entertaining her guests at her annual Garden Tea party?

Special Agent K looking to bust the local drug dealer after a long night on the streets undercover OR local Shaft enthusiast looking for that bad mother - SHUT YOUR MOUTH- so she can give him her last quarters in order to support the production of his new documentary- "Shaft: A Personal Look at the Man- the Legend"?

Special Agent K infiltrating the Martha Stewart show as a guest chef in order to stop Martha's evil plans of brainwashing and taking over the world through a mind altering drug made of sugar cookies, cinnamon sticks, and plaster of paris OR soon to be Le Cordon Bleu graduate getting ready to film an infomercial for George Forman grills?

You see-- she can blend into any surroundings. She's like a ghost- the mist of a person that you thought you saw.

This talent for disguise isn't something you can just learn. It has to be in your blood-- it comes from your DNA and it's something you learn from birth- from masters in the art.

My little grasshopper is learning to tame the chi that is disguise.

And you thought the skunk costume was just for fun- so naive.
