I often tell him that his karate's a joke, which really isn't true - I'm just trying to toughen him up in the brain pan. Here's a recent photo of my main man sitting on the lap of a giant rabbit. You should have seen him, all smiles and giggles, while other kids two, three, even four times his age were crying like b*tches. I sw...
