    Daniel then promptly marched down the street enrolling in modern dance lessons, violin lessons and chess club. "What can I say," drawled the newly confident sixth grader, "I'm a Renaissance man."

      Looks like his parents will now need some karate lessons themselves to handle him.

        lmao..."I knew we should have put him in soccer instead"

        One of my daycare kids, every time mom picks up he says "Ma, do I have karate today?"

        If mom says yes, he proceeds to stomp out the door, head down crying. (sometimes locking himself in the car)

        If she says no, he cheers and runs up to me to tell me "I don't have to go to karate today!"

          Joining the soccer team did the same thing for me when I was little. Man--we spent half the time of our three-hour practices doing wind sprints to build endurance. Who could enjoy that?

          Mr. Miyagi: "I tell you what Miyagi think! I think you dance around too much! I think you talk too much! I think you not concentrate enough! Lots of work to be done!"

          With an attitude like that it's no wonder Daniel quit!
