  • You are so funny!! I remember a gal fight when I was around 10 years old. I was able to watch it out of a window. Two mothers got into a fight about one of their kids. The husbands stood there helplessly as the gals pulled hair, scratched and tried to rip their clothing off. I was surprised that the husbands did nothing even when the loser was almost totally naked and crying loudly. I never forgot it.
