Following in the footsteps ... Mandy has taken up Karate. It's a Japanese style taught by her very own school teacher. She's really pumped about it. After her first class, mom asked "what did you learn?"

Amanda replied, "she taught us how to punch." She thought about it for a moment and then added, "and I know how to block."

Mom asked, "they taught you that too?"

Amanda replied, "nahh, Dad showed me that!"
