When I was a kid, there was a rule in my house that we boys were allowed to fight and wrestle, but if any of us got angry that was a SIN that needed to be punished.
My brothers are 5 and 8 years older than me. So, this put me in a pretty tough position, as every fight was a fight for my life, and a joke for them.

I vividly remember getting jumped by my brother, getting hit several times, and then when I hit back, he put me in a headlock, marched me into my parents, kicked my legs out from
under me, and slammed me on the ground, stating "He hit me back IN ANGER"

As I laid there with the wind knocked out of me, my parents promptly responded by spanking me and grounding me.

One of my best friends watched it happen too. They are angry about it to this day, 30 years later.
