"Can I kick you?"
That was a serious question, aimed at Mike, from one of the karate kids. Who just earned his yellow belt this weekend. And who broke a board with nothing but his forearm and a "YYYAAAHHHH". On the first try.
Mike's answer was swift and decisive: "NO."
You know how they say "It takes a village"? In this case, I agree that there are just some parenting jobs that are best left to someone else*.
Becoming a human kicking bag is one of them.
*A karate master, in this case, who I write a nice check to at the beginning of every month and who knows how to effectively be on the receiving end of tween kicking and punching and, for the right price, doesn't seem to mind too much.
