Backhand

Mikimber have been champs while we've been out here. They invited us for dinner and Husband and I couldn't have been more excited to get out and see their place. After a delicious kabab dinner Husband played with the kids and does what he does best: ran them until they couldn't stand.

Already impressed by his running skills, Husband decided to (literally) strike while he was hot and show off his magic skills to the kids. Chowie and Sweety-J were huddled close as Husband vigorously rubbed a penny into the back of his neck in preparation for pulling it out of his mouth. With his head tilted back and reaching his fingers into his mouth, he suddenly flung his hands from his mouth and rather than hold up the coin victoriously, caught Chowie square on the forehead. The force of the blow was such that in a split second the kid was flat on his back. And screaming.

Unphased by the whole thing, Sweety-J's response was, "What happened to the penny?"

The aftermath.
