MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — A 12-year-old boy stabbed his sister in the arm in an argument over a chicken pot pie, authorities said.
The boy is charged as a juvenile with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, said Robert A. Holmes, senior assistant Isabella County prosecutor.
The alleged attack took place Monday evening at the siblings' home in Mount Pleasant.
"They were having a brother-sister argument," Officer Michael G. Covarrubias told The Saginaw News for a story Wednesday. "This is going to make them sound stupid, but they were arguing over a chicken pot pie."

You might be a redneck if you've ever stabbed a sibling in a fight over food...
Welcome to FR....I think.....
Why call the police?
She is lucky they didn't show up and start shooting.
People should only call the police as a last resort.
I would have beat that kid's @ss, and grounded him for a year. Can't parents discipline their own kids nowdays with out getting law enforcement involved?
My son once (at age 5) took a chain across the street to hit another boy with. Fortunately, I saw him and stopped. He had a temper back then. The nickname "Link" has stuck ever since.
Make that about 40 years ago. Damn time goes by. I was 25, 25 years ago. Wishfull thinkin I guess
Now if he would have scalped her , that would have been a hoot.
Er.. I doubt the knife had a nine inch blade. Maybe the entire knife was nine inches if you include the handle. Since it was a folding knife the blade was probably more like four inches.
If this is a simple situation of siblings, why did mother call police instead of just taking daughter to hospital?
I was on the receiving end of a fork in a brother/sister fight over a pork chop (it was hardly even a scratch... I did worse to him through the years). We laugh about it now.
But a 9" knife blade is not funny.
Leggo a my friggin' Eggo you bitch!

Lots of kids brink "Bowie knives" to the dinner table these days.
when we were kids m e and my brother would beat aeach other with whatever we could get our hands on when we were ticked off at each other the only difference is that family business and disipline was kept in the family back then becasue the u.s.a. was not the police state u.s.s.a. that it has now become
Or a troll. I vote for "troll."
That's what it appears!
As opinion journal would say... Not too Brite.
I remember my big sister chased me with a knife one time. I grabbed a barstool and held her off like a circus animal. All of this was witnessed by my best friend. My sister wouldn't have done anything, she was trying to intimidate me...but if my kids ever did it they wouldn't see the light of day for WEEKS.
Thank goodness for that. I thought you were going to say he cauterized it with a hot wire.
