Tornado E: Mommy, let’s play Three Little Pigs!
Me: Ok, Tornado E.
Evan: You’re the Big Bad Wolf! And I’m the Little Pig! This is my house of sticks! You can’t get me!
Me: (Smiling as I sauntered over. I knelt down to be eye level with the coffee between the wolf and the pig.) Little pig. Little pig. Let me in! (Enter a creepy thought of the Shinning. I mean Shining. 😉 )
Tornado E: NO! (Close enough)
Me: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in! (Huffed and Puffed)
(Tornado E threw a great jab into my nose. Tornado S laughed from the couch. Tornado E grinned in triumph.)
Tornado E: Big Bad Wolf! You can’t blow my house down! It’s made of sticks! And I punched you!
I guess if you can’t have a good defense, you might as well have a good offense. Thank God he didn’t break my nose.

Yeah, thank God for that! You’re going to have to work on your moves so you can dodge those punches better. Imagine when they get older and faster (shudder). Although I suppose by then they’ll know better than to throw punches at dear old mom’s schnoz… even when she’s playing the evil wolf 🙂

Well, you can’t really blame a guy for wanting to defend his home can you? 😉

KathyB!~ Since my husband is insisting on martial arts lessons, I fear I might have to take some to to keep up 🙂
breedermama~ I guess I can’t. It’s better than running scared. 🙂
Kat~ You’re super cute. But next time when you give me an endorsement, keep it a little anon because it looks fishy when it comes from my best friend’s little sis. Kidding 🙂
