I was "working" (i.e. surfing, shopping, celebrity gossip, etc.) today on the computer when I looked over at Luke to see this. I know. Hilarious, right. He was sitting with his finger up his nose watching Spongebob. He stayed like that for a few minutes and was totally unaware of me while I shot these now priceless photos. You're welcome.
Now, he doesn't look like a total bad ass when you gaze at the above photo, but he is. Just ask Owen's friend Patrick (name changed to protect the innocent). Luke got to go along with Owen on a play date a few weeks ago. Now those of you who know Luke, you know that he is not one to be trifled with. Well, poor "Patrick" did not know this. Now remember when you hear this story that "Patrick" is Owen's friend, meaning he is six almost seven years old.
Okay, so there were four boys on the trampoline at said friend's house jumping away. Luke goes to get off the trampoline and "Patrick" blocked the mesh gate so that Luke couldn't get off. That was a mistake. Luke's first act was to pull his hair so that he could disable him. Then he got on top of him in a position know in the wresting/extreme fighting world as full mount. Meaning Luke was sitting across his chest pinning him to the ground.
Luke took advantage of this position and began to rain down punches on this boy. Apparently with so much force that "Patrick" couldn't get up and for long enough that the other boys had to go and get help from parents. Parents came back to find Luke still swinging away. The parents pulled an enraged Luke off Patrick revealing a bloody nose, black eye and a sobbing boy.
Upon hearing of this story, I, of course, was totally embarrassed by my son's behavior and promptly called his father to seek appropriate punishment. His father's response: "well, Patrick learned something that day -- don't be an a** hole to Luke." Very nice husband. You're going to be a lot of help during teenage years, thank you. I wonder where in the world he gets it from?
Oh, and Mr. Owen (the friendly son) lost two teeth today. Had a little help from the dentist, pliers, and some laughing gas. Very eagerly awaiting the tooth fairy so that he can buy himself a new bike. It's going to be kind of disappointing to wake up to a few bucks, but life is full of disappointment. Better to start young.

Man, if you get a new bike for a lost tooth, I'm off to the dentist :)
ReplyDeleteLuke is a fighter! I can appreciate the fact that Chad was ok with him defending himself. But I can also appreciate the fact that you don't want him beating the living He** out of the neighborhood kids. Hmmmm.... best of luck finding an appropriate solution :)
