So my Catie girl got to use her karate in the real world today, apparently.
As relayed to me by the principal, a boy in her grade was chasing her and her friend, pretending to be an evil clown and pretending to shoot and stab them. Cate apparently decided to stand her ground and did a jab cross to the other kid's gut. More chasing, another punch. After visiting with the principal, it was determined that Cate felt the circumstance truly entailed her needing to protect her and her friend, and she didn't get in trouble, while the other kid promised to not play that particular game again.
Geesh. Kids. I don't know how she felt in that moment, but I think we'll have a chat at home about when it really is necessary to defend and when not.
