My wife is a very sweet, innocent woman. She isn’t naive, but she isn’t what we would call street smart either. I think she sees the good in everyone, and that makes her very likable. Sometimes a little too likable.
I remember one time I had finished teaching a class and came out from the studio. She had told me about some guy who was talking to her about Wing Chun and showing her some moves on the heavy bag.
After class I saw the guy and he tried to talk to her again. I stood there watching and could tell that this guy was definitely interested in my wife. I can’t blame him for that, she’s wonderful and I am quite smitten with her myself.
Anyway, he started talking about his Wing Chun again and began showing some moves right in front of me. She gave me a funny look and it was time to go. The guy seemed nice enough, but I don’t think she was all that impressed with his moves. Even after I introduced myself as her husband, he kept at it on that bag.
“If they come forward, you do this, bah boom, boom bah, slice and then the fight is over!”
Okay, buddy, whatever you say! One of the first dates my wife and I went on was actually to a combat sports event, where she saw me and other grown men compete. You’re going to have to do better than a few forearm strikes on a heavy bag to impress us.
Still, I found it funny how he tried to impress her with those fighting moves on the bag. I could maybe understand that from a kid, but this guy was an adult. That just made me chuckle.
