Announcement from SapperSaint

At 5 and 9 I do not know what my girls will end up doing, I know it is not my decision but will be their choice.

Sunday morning I woke up to the realization that I need to start using more "Ma'am" around my house. On Saturday my wife and both girls earned their Brown Belts (4 away from Black Belt) in Taekwondo.

I feel safer yet more vulnerable at the same time.

Sapper, if it helps. Think "I am cheering for my daughter, not the whole damned University".

You sleep well at night though...

Or do you?

That depends on my 5 yo, she has had some interesting requests at bed time and I know better than to pacify her because she will remember and call me on it.

My wife laughs and asks me what it like to live with myself...

Apparently I make interesting requests at bed time.
