Frightened, he stepped back and received a couple of eye rolls from his mother.
"You little brat, when your Dad scolds you, don't you get it? You ungrateful little rabbit, it wasn't easy for your mom to bring you into this world. We give you the skin and hair we cherish, your Dad and I don't want you taking risks, and you still talk back?"
