"I know Karate..."

"and I'm not afraid to use it! But I promised sensei that I would only use my skills for good, so you're safe mom." Ah, good to know! Brennan is so proud of his skills that he wants me to watch him practice {usually in the kitchen while I'm cooking dinner}. BUT, all of his practicing paid off last week when he tested for his Gold Belt and GOT IT!! Brennan was really proud that he skipped getting his Jr. Gold Belt and went right to his Full Gold (some kids in his class don't have a full gold yet even though they have taken classes longer than he has). Receiving his gold belt also means that he gets to start sparring with other students in class... not too sure how I feel about that one... I had to purchase his sparring gear tonight and I about died when I handed over then money. I didn't realize that Karate was so expensive! Oh, well, Brennan loves it and is good at it so it is totally worth it!

Funny Story/Conversation:


Brennan has been "babysitting" his friend Carter's WebKinz pets for the past few days (feeding, playing with, and playing games on Carter's account). When I noticed that he wasn't using his own screen name, I asked what he was doing.


"Carter is out with his family and can't take care of them so I told him that I would be a good friend and take care of them for him."


"Okay~ you are a good friend."


"Not really... Carter's been kind of mad at me."

"What for?" (I'm thinking something happened at recess or Boy Scouts...)


"I told his ex-girlfriend about his new girlfriend..." (insert really sad face looking at the ground)


"oh, I think he'll forgive you. Do you have a girlfriend?" (I'm one of those moms... nosy)


"No, girls are gross"


"Do you have an ex-girlfriend then?"


"I don't even know what that is!"


Ahhhh.... that what I love to hear!
