National Fencing Champ and all round delightful daughter!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

(Aw, no, It can't be 50 years.  I'm too young to have a kid that  old>)
It seems like only yesterday you were pestering me for Legos,  Barbie dolls and ice cream.

oh come on... you're not going to deny her ice cream, are you???

[kahnegabs]

Heck no! She's the champ.
She can have the Barbies and Legos too, if she wants!

(hmmm, Now, I'm wondering if there's a lego "barbie" with a sword?)

[martianfencer]

Thank you!

There is a vendor at big tournaments who sells teddy bears dressed up as fencers, but I haven't seen any Barbie dolls. I'll take you up on that ice cream, though!

[kahnegabs]

Huh? I thought now you wanted a fancy international sword!

[martianfencer]

Oh, I hadn't realized it was an either/or situation!

And now I've finally figured out what FIE stands for. Most people think it stands for Federation Internationale d'Escrime, but I now see it must stand for Fancy International Epee!

[kahnegabs]

So I think you probably have go get your own ice cream. The darned stuff does not mail well. So now: Where are do I find these fancy swords?
