A 3rd Grader Talks About Learning How to Fight From Online Videos

This one guy

In this one video, he--


He goes like this

With his fist

And the guy goes ‘Arrgghh!’

And he falls down

And he’s probably dead


So if you hit him that hard

Then he dies

But I bet your, I bet your hand

Probably hurts bad

After you hit him, because, you know

Sometimes, like, if you hit somebody

Like, or if you hit something

Not like a blanket, but like, something hard

Then your hand hurts?


Like, a head is hard

And so if you hit it

You hurt the person

But I bet your hand hurts too?


So, like, I would use a sword

If I had to fight someone

Because then you don’t

Get your hand hurt

And there’s a video

Of this guy using a sword

And he’s fighting this guy

Made out of watermelons

And he goes ‘Thwap thwap thwap’

And the watermelons all go ‘Blap Blap Blap

And they all fall apart


I asked my mom for a sword

And she got me a sword

But I can’t use it in the house

But when my mom’s not home

I get the watermelon

Out of the fridge

And I go ‘Thwap thwap thwap’

But I have to go easy

Because if I cut it right in half

My mom will be mad

Because she likes to save the watermelon

Until we have my cousins over

But I have nothing to practice my sword on

And my mom says I need to learn

To make pretend with the sword

But in the videos

They have watermelons

And in one video

They have a coconut

But my mom won’t buy me a coconut

Even though I got a good grade

On the test my teacher gave me

And she says I’m good in class

But she thinks I talk too much

About fighting

Even though I don’t fight


I tried telling, um, my teacher

That I have to learn how to fight

Because if a ninja comes into the classroom

And tries to ninja us

Then somebody needs to know

How to protect the class

Because I don’t want the ninja

To steal the turtle we have

That I get to feed on Thursday’s


I can’t bring my sword to school

But that’s okay

Because there’s a video

Where it teaches you

How to fight a ninja

And what you do is

You pretend you don’t know

How to fight the ninja

But then you do know

And they’re surprised

So then you can go ‘Twah Twah Twah’

And then they fall down

And the police come get them

And they thank you

For learning how to fight

Even though your teacher

Didn’t think you needed to


Then I’ll get a medal

And my mom will say ‘Sorry’

For not letting me

Cut up the watermelon in the fridge

Because my cousins don’t deserve it anyway

Because when they come over

They knock down all my collectibles

And nobody is supposed to touch them

Because my grandpa gave them to me

And they’re going to be worth money one day

As long as I don’t play with them


There’s one video

Where you can fight someone on a boat

But I don’t have a boat

So when I’m in the bath

I pretend there’s a boat in there

And I go ‘Fwat fwat fwat’

And then one time I fell

And I was okay

But my mom came in scared

Because she thought I was going to drown
And she told me no more fighting

But I know she didn’t mean it

Because if the ninja comes to my house

And tries to steal my collectibles

She needs me to know how to fight

And one time my mom told me

That she can fight for her and me

And my mom has long fingernails

So maybe she can fight

But I can be her sidekick

And we can take down ninjas together


But I get all the scariest ninjas
Because I do all the training

But my Mom can takes the ninjas

That look like watermelons

And then once all the ninjas are gone
I can take the turtle home from school

And he can be just my turtle

Because I’m the only one

Who knows how to protect him


Do you want to see this video

Where two giraffes are fighting?


A ninja could never beat

A giraffe in a fight


No way could they beat a giraffe


Nope


Nope, nope, nope
