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."

Lyrics:
When we were young, Bernie's Deli was down the block
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
He made a great liver pate'
(You know he did, you know he did, you know he did)
But if there's one thing in this world that I like better
Than a corned beef on rye
It's Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie
(chorus of chicken-cluck imitations)

No, I was six at the time, and she was nine.
At this point, I think that the fact that I'm three years younger than her is payback enough!
When I was 13, I threw a fork at my sister and hit her just above her eyeball. I received more pain at the hands of my Mother that day than my sister did from those four tiny little holes just below her eyebrow.
Now that I'm older, I find it hard to believe that my Mother didn't kill me. I could have put her eye out (A Christmas Story reference).
When forks are outlawed, only outlaws will have forks; and those pot pies are CREEPY looking. I hate food that smiles.
I once threw a cast iron skillet at my younger sister. It grazed her. I didn't get into trouble over it, but I was so scared by the thought of "what if it had hit her in the head" that I was nicer to all my siblings after that.
to've gone this far, I suspicion the kid has not been a model son - and this violence endangered the girl - she got in the arm because she threw it up in front of her in defense. Had it not gotten her in the arm - where might it have hit?
I comment the mother in making a hard decision - the kid needs to know that this was a serious act of violence, not a 'go to your room' thing
If she had not called the police herself, the hospital would've and then both kids would've probably been taken from the home and the parents charged with neglect
If it was the kind of pot pie that only has a crust on top, rather than completely surrounded by crust, I'd only be mildly irritated. But then, I'm an only child...
My cousin broke a record player over my head when we were very young. I remember being a bit hurt when it became obvious that my grandpa wasn't upset on my account, but the record player's...
True. Children don't stab their siblings over a (most likely TV dinner-style) chicken pot pie unless there's some serious disorder and parental failings present.
I disagree. Tempers run high at times. The fact that the state involved itself is another encroachment of the nanny state that wants to do the parent's job.
I believe EGGO's are a Heinz company...along with ORE IDA. I don't buy them.
I punched my younger brother in the mouth over a game of Monopoly when I was 11.
I'm told my older sister stabbed me in the forehead with a fork when I was a pre-schooler.

Too funny!
My cousin beat my brother over the head with a cap pistol when they were both three.
I have a good friend whose younger sister chased him down the hall with a butcher knife that she then threw at him. It stuck in the bathroom door and not in him, TG.
I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
You too, eh?
Heh.
I doubt the mother has been a model parent.
