Orange

Back when we were first beginning our ninja phase, we enrolled the kids in a local German Karate club. It seemed a good fit since karate is similar to ninjitsu once you omit the caltrops, poison and throwing stars. The senior partners here at 5fordhams happily approved those curriculum modifications.

Last weekend, Tess finally took the test for her orange belt. Photo-documentary of this event is sparse since she threatened to eviscerate me with her ninjitsu if she saw me take any pictures.

I did but fortunately she didn't. This was a happy occurence since she's now an orange belt and could probably disable me with her left thumb.

Possibly those skills will be useful when I let her start dating (in 15 years).
