While I'm too old and broken down to kick butt anymore, I don't let on like I couldn't..

I'm old, fat and crippled up. I will STILL fight physically to defend me and mine if necessary. As I told one of my sons when he was feeling feisty, I might wind up in traction or laid up for a while, but I can STILL take him out!! By the by, he agreed with me on that. Said he'd much rather DAD was mad at him than Mom. After all, Dad might HURT him, whereas Mom would .... Well, you get the idea.
