The Case of the Missing Master Wu 1

Three good tools for any sleuth: flashlight, ruler, and logic
One best tool: luck
Also - patience and amusement if possible

When in search of a needle in a haystack it is quite obvious that patience and deduction are important - but even patience and deduction won't solve all mysteries.

Our boys like Legos and so far the oldest has received the vast majority of Legos, primarily as gifts from Christmas or his birthday. There are a lot of Lego sets out there and we seem to have a few of each of the current ones.

Ninjago is the latest Lego trend in the household. They come sold as individual figures with a special spinner thing. Somehow the oldest seems to have about five or six of these characters with their spinners. Meanwhile the middle might have two - and he wants what the older has. So there is this friction, especially around 4pm - known as the unhappy hour and especially if there is no nap.

The middle has one specific Ninjago figure that the older does not. A trusted figure, a character worthy of Yoda and Master Splinter. In fact he seems to be an amalgamation of the two. He is Master Wu - a surefire Ninjago master who is teaching the other Ninjago how to battle their evil compatriots - the Skeleton crew.

And it was a huge setback when Master Wu went missing!

At this juncture in our little mystery it is time for a short break, please be back tomorrow for the second of three easy installments pertaining to -
The Case of the Missing Master Wu.
