Raising Them Right
As the parents of two little girls, we were very happy when Princess's school announced a self-defense class that we could sign her up for, free......during school hours......cause how much easier could it be at this point......So we jumped on the wagon.
So she had a full week of this. Then Friday night we went to watch her graduation. Okay, instead of giving out certs and making it quick, they had demonstrations. Which was boring until my kid got to her part. Look at that ponytail swing! Cause she put some stank on that fake knee to the groin! So after the round robin demo the kids started suiting up in pads....ummmm excuse me? Why does my kid look like she's a contender on American Gladiator (anybody remember that show?) It was so stinking exciting. They had an obstacle course set up and each kid ran through, okay, each of the brave kids ran through, alot of them sat on the sidelines sucking their thumbs, which I completely respect cause I was that thumb sucker too....not Princess, obviously she got The Man's genes on that one.
My kid was amazing. She screamed NO in the face of the sweet lady asking for money and then tried to grab her. She pecked the eyes of a dummy who jumped out at her, literally pecked, people! Then when the big real live man in a huge red padded outfit grabbed her arm, she kicked his shins, she stomped his instep, she then got picked up by said red man as he attempted to cart her away. She was amazing. She threw a couple of elbows to the face and then started kicked his chest till he dropped her then she nailed him with a groin shot and took off towards the safety corner.
The Man was almost hoarse from yelling for her and I would share the video but she screams out her name and our home address to the "policeman" in the safety corner....and I don't like unexpected company so I can't share....although if your family, email me and I'll send it over.
So here is my proud girl, very empowered to stand up for herself and fight off evil! I've got a superhero in training.
And Duchess, you ask? Well her and puppy were keeping mommy company.... after she got in trouble for asking "What the hell?" when her sister got grabbed ........ dang military kids, they got potty mouth.........Labels: Duchess, family smamily, girls, Great Parenting 101, Princess In All Her Glory

That is such a great thing to teach young ones and it looks like yours caught on perfectly. I don't think you will have to worry about her!
She's not just another pretty face!
