I’m filling out the paperwork for my kid to advance to a yellow belt in Taekwondo, writing out more checks, and wondering if all this is worthwhile. I mean who needs self defense classes anymore. The odds are very slim that my kid is going to get jumped in an alley by someone who isn’t armed. All that “master” and “obedience” talk rubs me the wrong way.

On the other hand, I like that it is man ballet. He’s learning grace and coordination. That’s a good thing.

Steve says that my hang ups with Jonah’s Taekwondo, which I called Karate for months, is that I’m way too blue state.

Question of the Day: What activities are your kids in? What activities did you do as a kid?
