The...Stripping Warrior?

My 6-year-old cousin, Jacob, is a trip. He likes to tuck his pillowcase into his underwear in front like a loincloth and pretend he's a Stripling Warrior from the Book of Mormon. Last night Audrey, Sarah, and I were over at his house, picking up stuff from my Aunt Melody. He desperately wanted to show us his room (as all children do when people come over), so we obliged. Jacob jumped up and down excitedly. He then picked up a pillow case, held it in front of his waist, and pronounced,
"When I take off all my clothes I tuck the pillowcase in here! Wanna see?"

We declined and hurried back downstairs, but he stripped and ran after us, showing us his loincloth and muscles anyway. It was all I could do not to bust up laughing.
