[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS (9) has always had a stubborn streak, and one of the ways it’s manifested in the past couple of years has been the endless battle of getting him to wear his athletic cup for karate. “It’s uncomfortable / no!  / I’m fine / no!”.  Basically everytime. Sometimes he relents after I warn him., and sometimes I don’t have it in me to fight him on it.  Today was one of those.  “I don’t need it!”  “Ok fine. Just don’t say you wished you had it”

Cut to: sparring time.  Shockingly 9-10 year olds don’t always have great body control, and lo & behold DS’s partner throws a wayward kick that catches DS square in the ouchies. He’s down in tears. She’s traumatized.   I make sure he’s ‘ok’, but not letting an involuntary laugh escape when it happened was a personal victory..

On the car ride home we mutually concluded that wearing a cup is a lot more comfortable than a kick down there (somehow I knew that already despite lacking the equipment) and we’ll be wearing one to class from now on.    Lesson learned the hard way!

Did you mean to say, “square in the balls” or “square in the testes” or “square in the nuts” or “square in the family jewels?”

Please use more clinically precise language.

I am sorry your kid is such a bloody moron. Do you have a plan for after he ekes out a GED? [/quote]
