“I’m gonna kick your f*****g ass, old man!”
My heart raced as every hair on my body stood up.
I scurried trying to get me and my daughter out of there in one piece.
Her hand clenched mine tight and almost slipped out because of how sweaty my palms had gotten.
“Fight me, you p***y!”
Each insult felt like a sting.
I didn’t even have the balls to turn around and look at him.
I just kept moving faster with my head down, hoping, praying, he’d leave us alone.
I should’ve kept my big mouth shut when he cut in front of us in line at the store...
But I just HAD to say something.
And now he was trailing me and my daughter into the parking lot... and it was all my fault.
And this dude was BIG.
At least 50 pounds heavier than me.
I had no business confronting him.
I didn’t even want to confront him.
I was just trying to do the right thing:
Stand up to a bully and show my 5-year-old that whenever she’s with me...
She’s safe.
But instead, my antics put us both in danger.
