When my 5’ tall daughter got out of USMC boot camp, she was pretty full of herself. She went to a party with her brother and managed to pick a fight with a 6’ tall, 200 lb guy fresh out of Army boot camp.

He picked her up with one hand, tossed her across the room on to a couch, then said, “Say, you’re really cute!”

She was just smart enough to decide “cute” might have some advantages in life...particularly at 5’ 0” and 95 pounds.

Doesn’t really have anything to do with what happened here, other than just a funny story. And...maybe worth remembering the next time a 95 lb woman in a movie kicks the butts of 6 guys with 250 pounds of muscle, all at one time.

That is a cute story, I’m glad your daughter got snapped back into reality with a relatively safe interaction.

Yes, I always find movies amusing... Yes it’s very entertaining watching the hero single handedly beat a group of bad guys single handedly, but in the real world, that’s just not it works, even with the best training in the world.
