Should've learned Rex-Kwon-Do!!

Break the wrist, walk away.

"So your genes are the ones that give me the slow reaction time."

let's play ro-sham-bo I'll go first

NO, MISS WJH, DON'T HIT ME! I'M JUST A LITTLE BOY! *cries hysterically*

punch his own dad in the balls?

Just cruel!

42 No, punching your son in the stomach is fresh.

All I know about Houdini's death was that he faded away like how Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda did.

Do you really think he has to know about Houdini's death in order to realise it's a stupid thing to do?

Now and days, yes.

#46, the point is that Houdini was well trained for such stuff and had even invited a punch -- but the gut puncher hit him without giving him a chance to prepare, and Houdini died from it. Even the most-skilled person can be grievously harmed if caught unawares. So not only was what OP's father did hugely unkind and a stupid idea, it was also pointless as preparation and yes, potentially fatal.

Wow, I never knew that's how he died. You learn something new everyday. And I'm being sincere!

Thats not how houdinni died

please unlearn what you think he learned...thats not how he died.

#66 try reading a book about it it's amazing the things you can find out with out the electronics

Haha!! That's exactly how I learned to swim. It was cruel but it worked!

For some people it's more like throwing them out am airplane to teach them how to fly.

Are you all offending my father's teaching methods?!

That's how I learned!

I feel like that's how most people learned to swim

I feel like that's not accurate.

#21 same here.

And then walked off. Eternal suspense - and an excuse to punch your father when needed.
