Kynlee McFetridge, 3, put a boy in a wrestling headlock at preschool after he proposed to her. Her mom questioned Kynlee and recorded her responses and sent the video to the Fox 2 Facebook page.

Kynlee’s wrestling moves go back to an open-heart surgery she had when she was 5 months old to correct heart defects known as the Trilogy of Fallot. Physically, she fell behind kids her age. Once she was well enough, wrestling with daddy became a favorite way to engage.
“That was my whole theory behind wrestling and roughhousing with her because she was behind the other kids,” he dad said. “I was trying to make her stronger so she could catch up. In doing so, she got a little rough, I guess.”
She has also learned not to resolve conflicts with headlocks.
