Check this out.....our neighbor Andy was out front "boxing" his son Chandler for fun and sport. They were having a good time, laughing and sparring...innocent "horseplay". Someone gave a pair of gloves to Doug, and then subsequently, I ended up with a pair after a short time. It was kind of a joke at first....the neighbors were cheering and jeering, telling Doug he was in for it now. I totally played it up and bobbed and weaved a few times. Then, I gave a sharp uppercut right near Doug's face, warning him of the hurt I could put on him. I punched at his gloves a few times for some awesome sound effects, and then I was pretty much done....but Doug had other ideas. He beckoned me to take some REAL shots. "I don't want to hurt you", I sweetly said. But NOOOOOOO, he wanted to fight, well, he wanted me to fight. I took a few jabs at him, making contact with his chest, and then suddenly.....KABAM!!!! I literally saw stars! MY HUSBAND SUCKER PUNCHED ME RIGHT IN THE NOSE! He claims I literally walked right into the glove, but as God is my witness....the dude nailed me in the septum. It took me a moment to shake off the shock and wipe the tears in my eyes. The gloves came off shortly there after, due mostly to Doug's deep guilt upon seeing my nose start to swell. Luckily, the puffy redness went away quickly....sort of a shame....I could have used that to make poor guilt ridden Doug do anything I wanted. I am on the comeback trail, though and in training....I think a big fat gold belt would be a nice accessory to any outfit!
