Pretty sure that's assault

When my brother and I were being brats my mom would tell us the story about my cousin being "fresh" to my aunt in front of her. My mother was an innocent bystander as a mother and teenage daughter argued about nonsense. Feeling my cousin went over the line with what she was saying, Sybil opened a safety pin and stabbed her with it. There were some tears and suddenly the mom and daughter were hugging, the fight a distant memory. Of course now the focus of the room was what to do with the lunatic with the safety pin. I think Sybil liked to tell us the story as a warning that she wasn't going to take crap from us. Nothing like having the threat of your mom stabbing you to make you fall in line.
