When parents talk to their children, if the children talk back they are being mouthy and sassy, “I am your father, you don’t talk back to me, I’ll turn this car around and make you stay in your room”.
What?? Who would say that??
My dad would say “pull the car over and beat your ass”.
Well actually I was using that as a metaphor.
In reality my mother would not say anything. She’d just reach behind the seat and start swinging. If she hit all of us then she knows that she got the right one. My dad would not have to say anything. He’d just give us a cold stare and we would cease and quiet down immediately.
