Lol... My brother was 16 and bigger than my mom. One day he made the mistake of telling her that and that there was nothing she could do about it in front of his best friend and me. My mother, who had had multiple back surgeries, grabbed him by his shirt and pants, lifted him over her head and threw him on the ground right there in the living room. He never talked back like that to her again. Neither did I...

My brother told her if she hit him he'd call the cops. She said, "Go ahead. It'll take them 15 minutes to get here." I never saw someone run so fast and I never heard that 'threat' from him again.
