Teenagers suck

Pa spent 25 years in the USMC, 2 wars, one was the big one, and he was darn near retired when I came along (unexpected also). Only time he threatened me was IF I joined the service. Said he would kick my *** from the Hell and back. But Ma, she would knock you on your *** if she figured I needed it. I was lucky I had all my teeth.
She worked in the county tag/tax office in the court house back in Ga. I was up there after school one afternoon and I was about 14 or 15. One of the deputies was having fun with her and poked her with a cattle prode. Wow did she kick some asses!! I quietly and quickly left!
