Thought-Provoking Question
Have you ever noticed how many questions you run across that don’t have clearcut answers? Here is just one of the many; I have spent the weekend thinking about it myself, and frankly, came up empty. There are so many variables to consider, I simply don’t know how to respond. But even if the answer is too elusive to be had, I think the conversation is still important.

How about this: Less than 10.
The martial arts trainer trains them to play innocently with their toys and to paint their little finger paintings and to wipe their little noses on their sleeves and wait. and wait. and wait.
… until I fall asleep.
Incidentally I think this is the same martial arts trainer that’s teaching my own kids.

Less than 10? Benny, I think we both need to think more offensively; up to this point I’ve only considered the question from a defensive standpoint. But what if I am the one doing the attacking in part? Surely that ups our numbers.

I have a couple of follow up questions because this could really change things for me. Are they girls or boys? If they are girls is their hair in pigtails (because you could totally use that to your advantage)?

I think that for the sake of equality and political correctness that we assume a mix of males and females, buzz cuts and pigtails.

How badly are we allowed to hurt them? We think of five year olds as being cute and cuddly, but they would be coming for blood. Also, have their parents signed release forms? Would PETA have a problem with this, I would hate to get ‘Vicked?’
