I was bullied until my Mom sent me for judo lessons. What a difference. Self-defense until the bullies get tired and go away. My last “fight”, at a new school in tenth grade, at the bus stop in front of all his pals I stopped the school bully over and over for about ten minutes. Next day I was treated as a hero. Funny thing, it stays with you. At age 50, in Amsterdam, a dude on a scooter nearly ran over me, I was on my bike. I said hey you idiot, and he stopped and wanted to fight. Head and shoulders bigger than me, goes into kick-boxing. After a punch and a kick, judo took over, and I had that dude on the ground. Then his girlfriend, who was sitting on the scooter, rode over and kicked me in the jaw. Some painters, who had seen the whole thing, came over and broke it up. So, yeah, judo.
My brother took Tai Kwon Do (I think that’s what it was). He’d practice in his room. He could do some incredible leaps and kicks…usually followed by a crashing sound as he broke yet another ceiling light.
In real life, she would be punishing him for ruining those pillows. Also, I was about to comment that it’s “jujitsu”, not “jujutsu”, but now I see that somebody already looked it up. See the pertinent Comment above.

Interesting. JUJUTSU is one of the four spellings of JUJITSU in my fave dictionary (Amer. Herit. 4th Ed.)

Looks Like Wanda needs to have cushions with one-piece foam inserts instead of cotton or poly fill.

Hammie, no matter how hard you try and how many ugly pillows you destroy, Wanda will still go out and buy more ugly pillows.

Even judged by “kid logic,” that punch line isn’t funny.

Wanda is one cool as cucumber mom. I’d be FURIOUS if my son did this – beat a sofa cushion to a pulp. Can’ t replace. Gotta buy a new sofa.
