Peanut's Bionicle Rules

My friend Jamsco will appreciate this as his kids are big fans of Bionicles. Peanut will not leave the house without his Bionicle this week. Today, I asked him about it. This is a replay of our conversation:

So, what is that thing?

Peanut: That's his claw. It's really big.

I see that. What does he do with it?

P: He fights with it and grabs things with it. Its really sharp and dangerous.

Who does he fight?

P: He fights the bad guy Bionicles.

How can you tell which are the good guys and which are the bad guys?

P: The bad guys are all black. That is what PH's is. Mine is the good guy.

What are they fighting for?

P: They are fighting battles.

Oh, and what are the battles for?

P: They get points.

What can they do with the points then?

P: They can get stuff like cookies. Things like that.

Don't you wish that real wars could be fought like that? The sides would earn points and then at the end of the battle, the side with the most points wins. Then they could cash in their points for cookies. The Middle East Peace settlement as described by a 5 year old.

Yet another example of how Bionicles can be used to solve many of our more difficult problems.
