Showdown

As the kids play for a bit before breakfast, I hear the following:
Ethan: Barbie, your no match for giant Bowser (bringing Bill's old Godzilla perilously close to the doll house where Lainey is clutching two beautifully dressed Barbies. For the uninitiated, Bowser is the bad guy at the end of each level of Super Mario Brothers)
Lainey: Oh, yeah? You can't get us. We'll get you with our big knifes.
A battle ensues, complete with blips of theme music and high-pitched Barbie voices saying "hi-ya", "take that" and other un-Barbie-like things. Occasionally Ethan adds a comment in Mario's Italian accent to Bowser's thrashing and snarling sounds.
Outcome is still unsure, but I don't think anyone's taking Lainey's gals down.
