The Karate Kid

When you are a first grader you never know when you are going to be ambushed by your buddies. I observed Kenneth holding the door open to his classroom for his other classmates. Suddenly one of his buddies picked him up and held him while his other little buddy ran over and proceeded to use him as a chopping block.

“This is my karate chop, and I’m practicing it!” said his buddy. “Sorry.” Chop went his hand. “Sorry.” Chop again. “Sorry.”

Each time he wacked poor Kenneth he would apologize. After the fifth or sixth karate chop all the kids in the area were practicing their karate chops! I decided to make my exit before the teacher came along and blamed the episode on me.
