In light of my post yesterday about Mixed Martial Arts, the Church, and Jesus, I thought this would be an appropriate time to come clean with the whole wide world: I wrestle (nearly) every night…with all of my kids including my son and it’s the highlight of my day.
I took the liberty of filming one of my epic matches with my son. I employed some of my MMA moves on him. I feel like a chump dad for ignoring him when he says,
“You’re choking me…”
but I seriously didn’t hear him. Honestly, I really didn’t…
While I have other nicknames I go by, my favorite is, “Ultimate Loving Daddy.”
Call it non-violent wrestling! Well, the choke-hold could use a little work. I often “wrastle” with my 4 year old nephew. His favorite hold is “the giggler.” And I only let him win occasionally. But seriously, he doesn’t mind losing, not yet anyway . . .
I believe it was the wise Elliot Ohannes who once told us that “all little boys need to be turned upside at least once a day” (I’m sure this could be appplied to little girls, too, but he only has boys). This is a motto we have tried to live our lives by 🙂 (with only mild back sprains).
true wisdom.
that was way too cute.
I have three boys age 5, 3 and 15 months. Our daily wrestling is always something I look forward to. Apprecited your post yesterday on the whole MMA / Jesus topic. Well said…
rex, been meaning to email you to say thanks for you and your church’s generosity in partnering with odw’s haiti relief fund. thanks bro.
Ha ha – My dad did this nearly every night with my little brother. What good memories…
“Who’s your daddy?”
“You.”
LOL.

“Dad, you’re choking me”! haha!
