Don't throw the hatchet at your sister when the sun is going down.

I've heard some crazy lines in my life, but here's the topper:
"Don't throw the hatchet . . . "
No, no, that's no the end of it. Listen:
"Don't throw the hatchet at your sister . . ."
Still not it. Wait for it . . .
"Don't throw the hatchet at your sister when the sun is going down."
Just sit with that for a moment. Throwing a hatchet isn't the problem for mom. Throwing the hatchet at your sister doesn't faze her. But throwing the hatchet at your sister as the sun is going down? Nope, Too dangerous. Here comes Mom.

I love rural life.
