I told you I'm a Ninja

Travis got a star patch at taekwondo tonight.

Because? He somehow convinced his mom to attend "Bring Your Mom to TaeKwonDo" month at his martial arts school.

Mr. Adams, the instructor, is running a special offer of free taekwondo lessons for a month for moms of his students, in honor of Mother's Day. And the students who get their moms to attend earn a patch for their uniform.

Who am I to deprive Travis of his first patch?

Yes, it's true folks, I've been honing my ninja skills.

I attend the adult class, Monday and Wednesday evenings until 9p.m. I generally don't take Travis because I get home well past his bedtime. The first night, however, I let him come so he could watch his mom learning all those moves. He was pretty pumped up about it.

I brought the iPad, so he wouldn't get bored. I don't think he watched me during class for a nanosecond. He had a crowd of kids around him the whole time while he wowed them with his Angry Birds skills.

My class is a bit different than the 6-to-12 yr old class that Travis attends and that I'm familiar with.

The adult class is HARD. I'm talking a real workout. With jumping drills and kicking and punching and all. Then we learn and practice self-defense moves, which is pretty cool.

Next month, in honor of Father's Day, on Monday and Wednesday evenings....

You guessed it.
