When I got married, I inherited a 15 year old baby sister. My blood sister is now 30, so I don't need to protect her anymore.
We were visiting her family last weekend, when the little sister in law spilled something down her shirt in the back seat. Her boyfriend (18 years old) sitting next to her immediately said "I'll help you get it!" and leaned towards her. Being a big brother, I jokingly drew and opened my blade, while asking him to stay out of her teenage shirt. All fun and games, blade was away in 10 seconds or less and everyone laughed.
My wife informed me later that the two of them expressed "concern" about me "threatening" this boy. The boyfriend apparently expressed that I wasn't man enough to confront him directly, and had to hide behind jokes. Now, I'm grown enough to ignore the rantings of a child, but decided to get a shot in for fun.
We all went to the Spirit of America show in Greensboro today. As the adults went out to smoke at intermission, I had to pass him in the aisle. I quickly held my hands up palms open and said "I'm passing behind you, and I'm unarmed."
When I returned from intermission, this boy was still wiping tears. God help the young men that will come calling if I have a daughter.
