Awww..... the tomahawk chop. Actually there is a very different reason they are named the Chiefs, it morphed into a native american thing. And if you have never read the bio of Lamar Hunt, you need to. You will then understand the football, soccer, tennis and other sports that we know today. Very few people I would group into the Great American category; he is one.
askpeck my first wife was that way, i let the boy be a boy. Lots of examples but two are I built a decorative fence about thigh high and he loved to crawl up and jump off into the grass. About 3-4 years old. She hated me for that. Then our next house i'd take him out in (horrors) cold weather and let him walk in the woods while I did yard work, cut firewood, moved dirt, whatever while he played or helped daddy. Then (horrors) he would come in dirty with a runny nose. Immediate bath, extra clothes, yell at me, hug him, divorce me, etc.
