You're never too old to learn something. Tonight, I learned that just because your kid has never before gotten a kick past your ability to block does not mean that he will never get a kick past your block. I also learned that any future sparring I do with Alex would be best accomplished while wearing a cup. I am also not sure I appreciated hearing him tell his mother that he "dropped me like a bag of trash" and that I very nearly puked on the dojang floor. Ow.
