This morning Jacoba and I were upstairs getting dressed while Zion and Zekijah were downstairs.
When I came downstairs, Zion came up to me and asked me if he could karate chop me on the head. I said ‘okay’. He proceeded to do it. Then I asked him why he did that.
He said, “I just did that hard of a chop on Zekijah’s head too and she didn’t cry.”
I asked him why he did that on Zekijah’s head.
He said, “I was just checking how tough she is”.
Zion, she’s half Marisa. No wonder she is tough.

hi! i am just laughing and crying right now because of your kids and your posts and how your kids remind me of my kids and how great they are…. i’m really glad that you let zion karate chop your head, mendelt, and then proceed to ask him WHY…. i think i would have stopped at, “can i karate chop you in the head??”….. thanks for the reminder to let go a little….

Hi Mendelt,
You might want to keep a close eye on the Kung Foo Kid…never know what else he might want to ‘check’!
Hope you’re having a good day today,

I’d say her other half is pretty tough too. Watch out world!

Destructive testing is best avoided in children, I agree.
