Karate Chop!

James came home from karate a couple weeks ago with a board that he had split in half...with his bare hand. He was very casual about it and reported, "You only have to hit it three times, mom. The first two you hit it soft with concentration. The third hit you hit it hard and it breaks." He was very anxious to try it again. So far, he has kept those lethal hands to himself and my furniture remains in tact.
