She kills her dinner with Kara-te.

Sophia, who, as i have previously mentioned, has what could be regarded as an indominabale spirit, has decided to take tae-kwon do. i think this is a very fortuitous decision, since, a), she already does random imitations of martial arts moves she has learned from tv with aplomb, and b) one of the 5 tenets of tae-kwon do is "indominable spirit". ( the others include integrity, which we will take to mean being in oneness and at peace with one's own naughtiness, rather than the more rigid definition with the strictly virtuous connotation.) her indominable spirit didnt preclude her from having a little nap on the way back from the field trip yesterday and getting left on and then locked on the bus. she woke up promptly however, and that spirit figured out how to get her off the bus. most kids woulda screamed their way off, wasting oxygen and energy. not sophia: just pull all the levers and push all the buttons till you either get off the bus or drive yourself home. for this is the way of the Sophia-murai.
