Training regimin

Daughter is rolling around on my bed – with a sword and shield – grunting and yelling.

Hey K – whatcha doing?

Hi Dad. I'm pretending this is a boat.

A boat?

A viking boat.

Oh yeah?

Yes. We are going to fight a dragon.

A dragon?

Yes, a big dragon. It is so big that three of us are going. Hiccup, Tuffnut and Astrid.

Oh.

And I'm Astrid.

I see that.

(Continues grunting, rolling and miming throwing) We have to do exercises to get ready.

Ok, you should do some push ups.

Dad.

What?

I can't do those.

But it's exercise.

(Rolls eyes) Dad – we only do dangerous exercises.
