Thought for the Day

I consider myself a pretty indulgent father.  I'm doing my best to raise a good, strong, well-educated set of kids.  I especially want my daughter to break out of the molds that society and other parental influences try to shove her into.  But I draw the line at the co-ed wrestling team at her school.  Call me old fashioned, but a 13 year old girl has no business wearing a singlet and grappling with 13 year old boys.

Sign her up for a martial art instead.

Yeah, that IS a bit strange...

Then again, if she can toss the 13 year old boys around like a rag doll, they'll be a lot less likely to try and impose their will on her in the back seat in 2-3 years...
