Karate means "empty hand"

Friday night the boys dressed up in their outfits we got them from China. They thought it would inspire their Karate moves. They're always asking, "Dad, do you want to see my Karate moves?"

We used their enthusiasm as a springboard and had a movie night - The Karate Kid. I lay down with a boy under each arm, pillows and a warm blanket and relived the eighties.

When we were done, way past the boys bedtimes, wg3's first words were, "Can we watch it again?"

Interestingly, during the movie wg3 kept wanting to rewind to the "girl parts." "She'll be on again," I said. Apparently Elizabeth Shue is his type.
