25 of the Funniest or Coolest Times Parents Stuck Up for Their Kids
A mother’s love is a beautiful thing — especially when it comes with good aim.
One Redditor recalled the exact moment he learned this lesson. He was eight-years-old, and managed to sink an incredible shot while playing basketball at the local rec center. When a bully twice his age attempted the same shot and missed, he yelled, “You think you’re pretty fuckin’ good, huh?” and choked the Redditor until he passed out. When he woke up a few minutes later to find the bully and his friends laughing at him, he made his way over to his mom’s job, where he burst into tears as he told her what happened.
His mom immediately left work, drove over to the rec center, hit the bully in the back of the head with a ball and screamed, “If you ever touch my child again, I’ll kick your ass, I’ll kick your mom’s ass, I’ll have my husband kick your dad’s ass, and when my son gets home, I’ll have him kick your ass every day in school until you fucking graduate.”
The son she was referring to was a national champion wrestler, by the way.
That, of course, is the correct way to threaten someone. It’s not enough to leave it between two people — you should be ready to enact generational terror.
Other Redditors have shared the times their family members stuck up for them, including a grandfather who sounds like he’s straight out of a Clint Eastwood movie.
