I know this sounds weird, but my martial arts instructor called me "son".. in a good way, not in the Foghorn Leghorn way ("I say, boy, listen to me son! Boy talks so much, ' get his tongue sunburned"). I sent him an email about why I hadn't been in class (sprained ankle) and he told me to come down to the school and he would give me acupuncture treatments to help me out. :) So, I'm going tonight. Maybe I can even get some instruction while I'm there. :)
