Dude, where's doth honor? Bludgeoning an unarmed combatant to the point of surrender with a deathly weapon is lacking in all chivalry. (You’d be a crazy dad to have; which is a good thing.)
Rules of chivalry are temporarily suspended for training purposes.

It is my hope to make him stronger by forcing him to play on unequal terms. Even when we rastle (my secret weapon is the tickle claw), it's not really fair, since I'm about twice his size. But he puts up a respectable battle when we play, and even does me very proud now and then.
I confess, a few weeks ago, he caught me with a kick to the yarbles that sent me doubling over in pain fetal style; it was my fault for not blocking it, but he was so quick I missed the usual rampant telescoping. And, seeing that he'd hurt me, he immediately comes over and starts asking, "Are you OK? Are you OK?" which is the phrase he knows for when someone get's hurt. His mum was standing by at the time with a look of nervous shock on her face; but I just looked up at him, managed a half smile and a thumbs up, and croaked out, "Well done."
Besides, not only did he get some bites of that steak, but when we didn't finish it all, I put the rest in the cooler; I got up and went to have a bit of it for breakfast, only to find that the son had gotten it out and eaten the rest of it when nobody was looking; I found the bone in the trash. Little weasel! (He actually pulls that one all the time; it's impossible to keep any leftovers around).
Good fortune,
