Hit her grannie!

So my Portuguese friend, Chantal, from Dinos Go Rawr, has started blogging.... and let me tell you, she has some interesting stuff to blog about!

For example, just the day before yesterday, I went over to her house so we could take her little sisters swimming when... dun dun dun.... her grandmother shows up..















Now, who would ever expect anything menacing from a little old lady who just wants to see her granddaughters and who barely speaks English?

Not me that's for sure!

Anyways, one of Chantals sisters wasn't feeling well, so we asked her to watch the younger sisters, 4 & 7 years of age, while we went swimming.. She said that it wasn't fair and that we should take both of them.

The point is, we decided we would take the 4 year old because she behaves at the pool and she would take the 7 year old because she behaves properly at home.

We told both the children this was to occur and that whoever didn't go this time would be taken the next.

Then the 7 year old starts crying and throwing a fit. Her sisters tell her that there is no way she is going and that she is not going to get her way by having a tantrum.

Then the grandmother walks in and sheepishly asks what is going on... after we tell her she starts arguing that all or none should go.

The next part happened really fast... the grandchildren start fighting back, that the girl shouldn't have her way just because she is throwing a fit... then the granmother takes off her shoe (ahaha, I didn't know Portuguese people actually did this) and starts wacking Chantals 16 year old sister, Stephanie, with it and calling her all these things in Portuguese. Stephanie bravely grabbed the shoe from her hand and, in the 2 seconds it took to put it down, her grandmother (G.M. for short) started pulling her hair and hitting her back....

Dun dun dun... obviously Steph wasn't going to beat up her GM so she just walked outside...where GM followed...

Round two:
















Into the ring, weighing x amount of pounds, comes the ferocious Stephanie, ready to beat some people up.

On the opposite side of the ring, weighing approximately 100 pounds, comes in GM, enraged at the thought of not getting her way.

*bell noise*

GM violently grabs Stephanie and manages to take her cell phone away from her, the object is soon discarded and thrown across the street outside of the ring and caught by eager Steph supporters. Steph uses the Power of Portuguese words to make GM recoil at the thought of being found annoying by her family. Steph smirks but then GM makes a quick recovery and throws a little kid's bike at Steph, missing her entirely.

At this, Chantal, the ref for this match, tries to make GM understand that this has to remain a fair match and that maybe she should just retire to her home. GM then starts screaming at the ref, telling her to mind her own buisiness while Steph walks off the ring and into the house... locking both the ref and GM outside....
