My wife called Bullshido on me...

We were at the local mall play area a little while back, at the kids play area, so that our kids could wear themselves down a little before we continued on our quest of mass consumerism. There was a kids safety seminar or something of that ilk going on in the middle of the mall, and one of the booths was for a karate school in the area, "Highsteppers Karate". I knew of this school, as it was a sponsor of a lane at the local bowling alley. Highsteppers does not make any absurd claims as far as I know, they are what they are, a sport karate club, emphasis on "Creative" forms and after school childcare. There were some kids from the school walking around trying to pass out literature to parents in the play area. They approach me, and I give them a disgusted cough, a little laugh and mutter they should be learning kung fu under my breath.

My wife totally called me out for this. She could see that I made the kids feel like jackasses, and damn, they are just kids. She didn't want to hear my diatribe on the evils of sport karate, she's the one who got me back into martial arts years ago, so she knows. She just said I was being pigheaded, and I shouldn't have laughed at them for promoting their school.

It was just kind of funny, I couldn't help but want to run them away from unsuspecting parents held captive at the mall play area. At least the kids had changed out of their gi's.
