Perfecting Our Martial Arts Skills



Jon is doing so much more than just the kitchen remodel!

The boys went downstairs to wake up 'the guys' (as Jon and Anthony are officially known; they are camping out in the family room) this morning. I stayed out of the fray, wisely it seems. Next thing I heard was the sound of full body slams, screams of laughter, launching of bodies through space, etc. Such a fun way to start the day!

The boys then demonstrated the new 'moves' Jon taught them:

  1. The "Eagle Claw": you make your hand into a claw and rip your opponent's heart from his chest. You then take a big bite out of the still-beating heart, chew it a couple of times, then spit it out on the ground in total disdain for your enemey.
  2. The "Buddhist Hand": this one takes hours evidently. You must hold your hand up in the 'ready to chop' position until it is full of kung-fu energy, then you are ready to slay your opponent with pure K-F power. Not good in situations where your enemy has a weapon, as they can kill you about a thousand times over before you are powered up.
  3. The "Heart Massage": an oldie but a goodie. Press hand into enemy's chest and massage until death or they collapse, overcome from tickling.

These are just a few of the great things Jon is passing along to the next generation. Worship? Just a little!

LOVE the kung-fu power hand... so true that you could be killed 1000x but if your opponent isn't paying attention then it is deadly i'm sure. ;) love this guy, wonder if we'll ever get to see him?

i think he should marry Lorraine - or at least move in . . .

Unknown said...

Seriously, he should. Those boys need him, and he clearly needs them. Will we ever win him away from those four. (Still not convinced from the horrible pics that it's really Jon BTW)

oh, it's sliver all right!

Um, just be warned that he is creating future Kip Davis people. Madeline seems to get that treatment everyday!

we are working on the keeping him here part, believe me. It is going to be a sad day when the kitchen remodel is DONE. And Lis, too late. The boys are already hooligans. Jon just adds new fuel to the fires. Shut up about the pix Rotch.

oh also, RJ informed me it is the Buddhist PALM, not hand!
