Also had a eighth grade boy ask me if a punch "counted" if it missed the other guy. I asked him why he wanted to know. He just shrugged. I told him it did count just the same as if it connected because the intent was the deciding factor. At first, he said "Oh", then after a moment or two, said "What's "intent" mean?" I looked at him and said, "You really don't know what the word "intent" means? He shrugged again. I said, "You must go to public school." He said he did.
