Biting My Tongue

I wonder what it is that's annoyed you. Sweet photo.

Has he seen any books, plays or movies about knights? It could be a lot of fun I think. But about biting your tongue you have aroused my curiosity?

I sure hope both boys have the head gear if they plan to spar, those swords don't look that safe to me even with the point being blunted.

If the children aspire to be a pro in fencing, then we can just support them. If we tried to stop them, it will create unhealed scars in their heart.

Dianne, I also would bite my tongue, but fencing can be a bit dangerous for a 5 year child.

I am not allowed to play with sharp objects! I don't bite my tongue I tell it like it is.

Fencing looks like a good sport for a young fellow like him.

Sometimes kids can come up with ideas, and you don't always know where they come from. I know I ask myself that question when it comes to my kids. But you know what? That's alright. Sometimes, my youngest daughter wants to put her coat on backwards. The back of the coat is in front of her. I don't know where she came up with this, but I'm fine with it. My eldest wanted her hair short, and my youngest daughter wanted the same. They want to be different, and I'm okay with it.

That is an interesting sport for a small kid to have an interest in.

I know how strange comments can come across online, especially when its a global site where some struggle with English. Hopefully the unkind words have been forgiven by now. Your grandson is so adventurous, I didn't know that young children could take up fencing. I wonder where it will lead him and what life lessons he will take away from it.

Nowadays kids have their own desires and wishes even parents can't interfere.

Fencing is sword play. A gentleman or gentlewoman's way to prepare for war if you lived a few centuries ago.

Sounds like an interesting kid. Maybe he saw a duel in a movie and it intrigued him.

That is an interesting thing for a child to be involved in. It is nice for children to have a variety of interest when young, and then can choose which ones they really are interested in.

Have you had an encounter of the rude kind? I hope not, you are so much fun and those grandkids of yours are certainly interesting enough to provide many many posts that we grandmas love to read!!

I am wondering what makes you decide to just zip your mouth. Well, nice that your grandson is having interest in that sport rather than focus on online games like many other children these days.

Keep your chin up and don't let anyone get under your skin.

@DianneN , it is nice that your grandson gets to try out new sports or past-times. Oh no, Dianne, it happened to you too? I am so sorry that someone has hurt your feelings or offended you. You know you are totally wonderful, right? Big hugs to you!xx

Is the grandson using the foil, the epee or the sabre?

I remember that when I was a little child back in the 1950's, my mother (who was probably in her late 20's at the time), took up fencing for a while. Even as a child of 5 or 6, I was amazed that my mother was doing that ... and I am equally amazed that your grandson is doing the same thing.
