Tweetok you have touched on two of my pet peeves. i teach karate and one of the classes i teach is a kids class. i can't tell you how many kids come in there looking like mini-michellin men. they can't do 1 pushup, can't get their head or shoulders off the floor for crunches. every time one of them complains about the warmups my sensei just shakes his head and says too much nintendo. kids don't go outside and play anymore, video games, computers and junk food. the other peeve is kids that runtheir parents. it pisses me off when i go to a restaurant, not a McD's now, a decent restaurant, and i see the typical mom and dad and two young kids, i tense up right away. within 5 minutes the youngest starts yelling at the top of his lungs and the older sister starts knocking **** off the tabls. my wife just raises her eyebrows and sighs. i tell my son loud enough for the parents to hear that if that had been him at that age he would have gotten his ass spanked. i get a dirty look from my wife but wtf. or else i'll just say loud enough for them to hear "if you don't beat that child i will". i told my son he was only really spanked once. it shocked hikm way more than it hurt him and once was enough. since then i never had a problem with him. we had one little **** like that in class that talked crap to his parents and he tried it with me on the dojo floor and i said you may treat your parents like that but you won't do that out here and he said you can't talk to me like that you're not my dad. i said your parents paid for this class and you're my student, for the next hour your little butt is mine and your parents aren't going to say boo to me. he saw they weren't gonna rescue him and he smartened up real quick.
