– Nani, when are they going to start crushing?
– Very soon, Emma, very soon.
Maheen was able to confirm this information with the utmost certainty to her three and a half year old granddaughter because for the second time in twice that many days the Nani (known for No Naps) had watched this particular movie.
The Karate Kid.
The 2010 version with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith that takes place in China and culminates in a massive kung fu tournament at the end.
I happened upon the film several months ago when it was playing on one of the two dozen premium cable channels we subscribe to, and ever since that day, every time I notice that it appears on the program guide, I like to watch it.
Regardless of what part is on at the time.
Such were the situations when Nani was over.
She would patiently explain to Emma what was transpiring during each scene while I grinned from ear to ear on my recliner at the two of them.
At last the tournament began and The Bug got to see some crushing.
-Mommy, when can I take karate lessons?
-When you’re older, Emma, when you’re older.
The Adventures of ALS Boy 
I donot mind watching again with you and Emma just to listen to her regarding the crushing. I love you and Miss Emma.
Jason, now you guys need to watch the original version and get Nani to teach Emma how to do “Wax on, wax off!”
Jackie Chan ❤
