Hank Hill returned home from Strickland Propane in a good mood.
"I'm home!" he called out.
"Hi Hank! How was work?" asked Peggy.
"Great!" replied Hank. "Where's Bobby?"
"In his room reading." answered Peggy.
Hank sighed and headed to Bobby's room. "It better not be elves again." he muttered. He opened the door and saw Bobby laying on his bed reading.
"Whatcha reading there son?" asked Hank.
"It's this really cool action series." said Bobby.
"Is there fighting?" asked Hank.
"Lot's of it!" answered Bobby
"Is the main character a boy?" asked Hank.
"Yeah." replied Bobby.
"Keep up the good work son!" said Hank, and left Bobby's room.
However a few weeks later, Bobby's Naruto obsession had grown. He came home from the mall one day wearing an interesting costume...
Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer were in the alley drinking beer when Bobby came riding down on his bike. When he got to the fence where the four men usually stand, they saw he was wearing a hidden tree leaf headband and an orange jacket with matching sweatpants.
"Like my new costume dad?" asked Bobby.
"What are you supposed to be?" asked Hank.
"I'm Naruto! The guy from my book!" replied Bobby.
"Well what is he?" asked Hank.
"A ninja." replied Bobby.
"You are not a ninja!" said Hank exasperatedly.
"I know, but it's fun to dress up like one. I was thinking that maybe tomorrow I could dress up as Gaara!" said Bobby.
"Get in the house now and change!" ordered Hank.
As Bobby went inside, Hank sighed and muttered "That boy aint right."
"What ever happened to the dang ol oldtimes man when ninjas dressed in dang ol black man and went Chop! Chop! Chop!?" asked Boomhauer.
"It won't be long before the government starts brainwashing children into thinking they're ninjas and then having them destroy all of the propane." rambled Dale.
"Dammit Dale! If you don't shut up, I'm gonna kick your ass!" shouted Hank.
"Fine! Now that Bobby's a ninja, I'll just have him protect me." replied Dale.
"For the last time, the boy is not a ninja!" yelled Hank. He stormed out of the alley and walked into his house and into Bobby's room.
"Now son, I'm glad you're reading but-" began Hank as he opened the door, but stopped when he saw that Bobby was making weird hand gestures.
"What are you doing?" asked Hank.
"Practicing Ninjutsu," replied Bobby. "I'm trying to create a doppelganger."
"Bwhaaaaa!" cried Hank. He shut the door and then saw Peggy sitting in a chair reading. Hank went over and sat down.
"What's the matter Hank?" asked Peggy.
"Bobby's in his room practicing witchcraft and whatnot!" replied Hank.
"It's not witchcraft!" said Peggy laughing. "He's just playing ninja!"
"I don't think we should let him read that stuff." said Hank.
"It will be fine. We should just be glad that he's reading and not smelling garbage. Now stop worrying." said Peggy as she went back to her book. Hank tried to relax, but he couldn't. Unfortunately for him, things were going to get worse before they got better.
