FroFamily, Inc. really didn't have enough to do so we signed up the youngest two members of the family for karate. In a moment of relative spontaneity (or perhaps in a wine-induced haze), Mrs. Dad purchased two packages of karate classes at last fall's Gatewood PTO silent auction. Those trial classes were embraced wholeheartedly by B&C when we finally got around to them this spring, so Mr. Mom and Mrs. Dad pried open the checkbook for 6 months of training from Mr. Marotta (not Miyagi). Now they are all about potential belt promotions (B has already moved up and C is close), knife-hands (don't ask), and step-behind sidekicks (self explanatory).
It is great that B&C can do something together, and they both seem to have a true interest. Not to mention that they both prove that they can listen and follow instructions from an adult (albeit not Mr. Mom) for at least 1 hour twice per week. They are not quite ready to take on Johnny and the gang from Cobra Kai yet, but that's just fine. They will some day. Plus we all know that it is not football players that get the chicks. It is clearly the karate kids. Elisabeth Shue - Ya baby!
