Uncle!

I was wrestling on the floor today with Troy, and I had him laying on my chest, while I had my arms and legs wrapped around him. He was unsuccessfully squirming to try to get away, and I said, “Say ‘uncle’! Say ‘uncle’!” Of course, he stubbornly refused and continued to fight. But after realizing that resistance was futile, he reluctantly screamed out, “Uncle!” As I released him to run free, my wife burst out laughing and gave me a high five. She said, “That was awesome! I can’t believe you made him say that.” I hadn’t just beaten him, I’d broken his spirit and made him admit defeat as well. It didn’t take him long to get cocky again, so I’m off to wrestle him to the floor a second time.
