I’m 50 but not so apart from you. Thank you. I agree with your comments. I watched Clint Eastwood films as a kid and I punched this kid like Clint would in a movie like in “FireFox” or “Any Which Way You Can”. That’s what I was thinking when I punched him.
Boy today are generally not taught how to be a man or how to make use of their God-given abilities the right way.
My oldest daughter was 6 years old, and the neighbor boy kept pushing her 3 year old sister down and knocking her around. I told my daughter to take care of her little sister. That night after it had been a long day of sister crying, I showed her how to throw a punch for maximum effect. Then I instructed her to aim for his nose if he once again began bullying little sister. When I got home from work the next evening, the 8 year old boys mom was at my door, telling me that my daughter had beaten him up. I called her to the door, and her direct answer was “I punched him right on the button”, I just smiled and told the neighbor lady to go home, as I shut the door. Nobody in the same age group of kids she grew up with, boy or girl, ever messed with my girls again.
