Miles: I am not going to enroll Jack in summer school.
Miles: If you get a park & rec mailer let me know because I will sign him up for that instead.
Mom: OK, I was already thinking of enrolling him in gymnastics.
Miles: Gymnastics??
Mom: Yes, it should be fun.
Miles: Gynastics is kind of G-A-Y.
Mom: It is tumbling
Miles: Hmm...I guess but he isn't good at that stuff.
Mom: Yes so gymnastics will help his coordination.
Miles: What about karate?
Mom: Well, we were thinking of doing gymnastics AND ice skating?
Miles: ICE SKATING?? What the heck?
Mom: What is wrong with that?
Miles: Gymnastics and ice skating are the TWO gayest male sports.
Mom: No.
Miles: YES...absolutely not. NO ice skating. Karate. Maybe gymnastics but thats it.
Can you imagine if Jack actually was good at ice skating?? Goodness gracious. I wouldn't be able to tell anyone where I was going on weekend for his practice or competitions. I dunno...I know I am his dad and everything but I just dunno if I can be supportive watching male ice skating OR gymnastics. Nope...no way...can't do it....not for a boy.

gymnastics will help him with coordination...and your mom is right. it's just tumbling at that age.
ok, so Ice Skating may be a bit on the femme side but i can see the convenience factor for your parents since it's within walking distance of your their house.
Karate. ummm. who exactly do you think he'll practice on??
Have him play ice hockey. Then you can keep Aya happy and he can play a manly sport. And don't tell me that's not a manly sport. I'd like to see your butt on a hockey rink.
jen-
he can practice karate on you! awesome!
roger-
i dunno if manly counts when you get all your teeth knocked out for fighting. plus, really...is hockey even on tv anymore?? there strike was the worse thing ever for their sport.
i played hockey a few times...i am goalie...no way i am skating around the rink. same goes for soccer...goalie.
Yeah, the popularity of hockey is low. I think it is on Versus now. Again, not a good move for the NHL.
