The sensei asked his eager students, “What do we need to do when we kick?” The boys and girls, aged 6-9, repeated back the typical answers that Sensei has drilled into them: Focus your eyes, take small steps, kick as high as your stomach, and it’s not a race. Then one little boy in the back added confidently, “use your balls.” Sensei with a slight smile and a nod to the parents who were watching and listening said, “Yes kick with the balls of your feet, you mean. I’m sure that’s what you mean. Very good.” The snickers of laughter from the parents were audible.

Only snickers? Must be a very polite group of parents.

You probably have to be a bit cautious when children are involved. You don’t want them to ask uncomfortable questions.

True enough, they usually don’t need any help coming up with uncomfortable questions on their own. 🙂
