Karate Kid
When my son sees his cartoon shows, I usually join him on the couch and I sleep while he watches. It was Saturday so his regular shows weren’t on and an old movie was shown instead. It was the Karate Kid (part I) of Ralph Macchio. Oohh men, that was like the coolest movie back in my elementary days. Watching it now, it looks funny, silly and sooo 80’s. I can’t stop giggling and my mouth was glued unable to put down that smile.
My son keeps on asking me what’s funny and I told him I just remembered some things and he looked at me like “are you crazy?”…After watching that movie 23 years ago, I made my self believe I was a black belter hahaha…I used do that magic power kick while belching out my Yaaaaahhh! I also did my wax in-wax out hehehe. You see, until now I’m laughing. And yeah, for me, Ralph Macchio was the most handsome adorable male specie back then. I had a poster of him on the wall next to Menudo in our room I share with my sisters before.
I was so excited to tell my husband about this forgotten Karate thing in me when he came home from work. He didn’t join my cheerful state because he was tired and who wouldn’t be annoyed with a wife who is so ecstatic over an old crush. I asked him if he ever did that kick and yaahh-yaahh and I got the same look I had from my son earlier that day. He said, “Never!” and I asked, “Really?” with my CIS interrogation. Then he was copying Daniel’s lame moves and said, “Yuckkk!”. Daanngg! Means I was really silly mad back then. .
