Man, that's really impressive. I've been taking my 18 month old son to lessons but he is nowhere in that toddlers neighborhood.

hey, that was why they filmed it in New Mexico. Three quarters of the US population will assume it was filmed outside the country and not even give it a thought about legality. ;P

You wouldn't believe how many people I talk to who don't realize that New Mexico != Mexico. Well, El Corazon probably would, he lives here too. Why do we still have to pay taxes if we live in a different country, Mr. Heart?

Really, why? Much of the world's children experience far worse on an hourly basis than those children did in their entire lives including the show.

From the article:
A child is now the equivalent of a minor royal who should be coddled, revered and praised at all times.
Not around my house. Ronin, my 18 moth old, is know as The Bruise around here because he plays so hard and tends to get several little bruises and bumps. It's had the nice side affect of apparently raising his tolerance for pain. But, the down side is he thinks that ice is supposed to go on his head and bruises and not his drinks :laugh:

Ronin? Damn, that's a cool name, though I do wonder how he'll fare in school. Are you aware of the japanese link? Ronin[^] Also a cool movie Ronin[^]!

I do... I've been coast to coast, still missing seeing a few states, but I have hopefully a few years left. ;);)

EVERYONE remembers you when you owe THEM money. But they forget you after you are paid up. ;P

Thanks, my wife and I had a classic struggle over this one :)

Yeah, I wondered about that myself. Little kids can be bastards. But, I will teach him some snappy comebacks and snappy kicks and punches as well.
Jim Crafton wrote:

Yes I am and it had a bit to do with the naming. It seems in classical Japanese culture being a master-less or free man is not looked well upon. But to me they represent independence and self determination. So, I went with that.

I hadn't heard of that movie until someone asked me my son's name and they mentioned it. It's on the list of movies to eventually watch.

As are the Canadians and Mexicans and really all of the countries south too. We can chart Mayan, Toltecan, and Aztecan archeological discoveries, but even I can't name more than a handful of south American countries. :)

Same here. We did 2 months of lessons around 7 months and 9 months seemingly with no effect. A month after the last lesson he just started blowing bubbles in the tub at bath time. :doh: :laugh:

Actually one of the zoos around here has a floor to ceiling Plexiglas window on the tiger cage, letting the kids get inches away from the beast. The tiger was just pacing back and forth at the window as a crowd of kids we screaming and hollering with their faces pressed against the window. I thought it was unnecessarily cruel to the tiger. At least they should open the window every few hours and let it get a snack every once in a while.

which is why USA usurped the entire continental reference and claimed they were the only ones here... though, that does sound awfully familiar to USA history, so maybe it is just "our thing."

well duh. Body dirt and soap is a much yummier flavor than chlorine. The latter is a strictly acquired taste. :->

Well, dirt does seem to be his favorite flavoring agent.
