Little Who had his first Tai Kwan Do lesson today. He has patiently waited for several weeks for this day to come, practicing his kicks and spins with the zeal of a true martial artist.
He wants to learn how to hunt and subdue serial killers. Yep, you heard me correctly, serial killers. For months that is all he has talked about and every move he makes is a step to prepare him for his job as a serial killer killer.
Being the martial artist that he is, he has worn a headband (made of gauze that I brought home from work) every day for a very, very long time. It's dingy and dirty but he takes great care to put it away at night and in the morning when he comes out of his room in his undies, the headband is always on his head. The other kids cringe when we go anywhere because it has become rather embarassing to be seen with Captain Underpants. Not only does he wear a headband but he has a belt, holster, and gun strapped on his waist in case he runs into a serial killer trying to abduct one of us out here on the farm (well, ya just never know!).
As we went into the "Y" for Little Who's class, sisterwho asked him to take off his headband. He said "Are you kidding me, I can't do Karate without this!". He didn't care and lucky for us, there was only one other child in the class, a 5 year-old chubby little girl who thought the headband was pretty cool.
