The last time I think I heard "bodacious" prior to this was in An Officer and a Gentleman - and definitely not the same context, but I digress ...
I was caught surprised when my daughter fell in love with Kung Fu Panda. I suppose I should have seen it coming, what with her current "woodland animals" obsession and all, but I was still surprised. These days we hear her thumping around upstairs, trying to master the spinning jump kick. She also tells me she wants to take kung fu, and I am so not ready to teach her any combat skills when she already has more than enough combativeness as an amateur. (Yes, I know that martial arts don't make children more aggressive - I'm just making a point.) All in all, I was quite pleased that she's using Kung Fu Panda on the Wii to exercise her combat needs."
