Y/n said “Fuck this” and I immediately yelled, “Who taught her that!” Casey and Mikey started laughing so hard they were crying. Donnie and April just stood there in shock while Raph acted how you’d expect angrily.
I couldn’t believe what had just come out of Y/n’s mouth. Where did she learn such language? Surely not from any of us turtles. It must have been one of those humans she hangs around with, maybe even someone on the streets of New York City.
As the leader, it is my responsibility to set a good example for my brothers and anyone else we come into contact with. My sensei always taught me to be disciplined and respectful at all times. That's why hearing Y/n say something like that really caught me off guard.
It's moments like these that remind me how important it is to stay vigilant in teaching our values to others. We may be ninjas who fight crime on a daily basis, but that doesn't mean we can let things slide when it comes to basic manners and respect.
I remember when Master Splinter first took us under his wing after finding us as baby turtles mutated by the ooze in the sewers beneath New York City. He raised us with love and discipline, instilling in us a strong sense of honor and duty towards protecting others.
But sometimes I wonder if being too strict or controlling could backfire on me as an older brother figure within our group. Maybe I need to lighten up a bit more like Mikey does or find ways to connect better emotionally like Raph does through his tough exterior.
At the end of the day, family means everything to me - whether it's my biological brothers or our extended family members like April O'Neil or Casey Jones who fight alongside us against evil forces threatening peace in our city
Maybe next time I hear Y/n drop some inappropriate language again, instead of reacting impulsively out of shock or anger - I'll take a step back , assess calmly where she might have picked up those words from then address them accordingly without losing sight of what truly matters most: looking out for each other no matter what life throws at us
Remembering Captain Ryan from Space Heroes saying "With great power comes great responsibility," reminds me once again about staying true to myself consistently showing compassion understanding kindness towards Others especially younger ones whom look upto you . Leonardo signing off until next time!
