When I was 13 years old, my family took a trip to old town in San Diego, California. At the time, I was a skinny kid and very insecure about my lack of muscles. I used to challenge my mother to arm wrestles, etc. because it made me feel better to know that I could beat someone in my family. One night after dinner when we were walking back to the hotel, I dared my mom to move me from a standing position. I bent my knees and readied myself. She charged, rammed into me, and sent all 125 pounds of me flying backwards through a store window of a gift shop. As you can imagine, a very difficult story to explain to the police.
Awkward.

Every awkward kid in the world should hear this story and know that things COULD be worse.
Wow! Like through the glass? Were you hurt? Wow!
Just imagine what she could have done if she were pissed off.
This made my day!

He resembles that remark

That is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard! Sounds like something that would happen in my family.
Ha ha ha! I love it!
Nice. Yes, please keep the stories coming.
Freakin’ awesomely awkward!!!!
Oh my word! I can just imagine THAT conversation with the shop owner…and with the police.
Dude, that is bloody hilarious! great job!
okay, that is amazing! your mom sounds AWESOME! totally a story out of my family…
Your mom is Badass awesome! Most moms I know would never ram at their kid and actually knock them over.
Your poor mom, too – trying to explain why she pushed you through the window while the cops are thinking about whether to call children’s services. Sounds expensive, too.
Son, get me that snow globe, will ya?
Dang, you’re mom’s a beast. I’d hate to see what happened when you didn’t finish your brussel sprouts.
Ahahahaha! Best comment ever! Lol
sorry, just not a believable

I’m steve’s mom. For some reason my son goes around answering the questions that no one ever asked.

I think I just peed my pants.
Best Story Ever.
Did this event happen to occur during the “Airing of Grievances” portion of Festivus?
Perfect! I love me some Festivus. (It’s the holiday for the rest of us, you know.)
But I do think I will have to correct you that this probably took place during the “feats of strength.”
Vic – that is hilarious! Army strong! Ha! One of the funniest stories I have ever heard.
This story and the subsequent comments absolutely, positively made my day. Nearly did a spit take of my Diet Coke.
How much did THAT cost? And how close were you to being taken away from your family?
Too funny.
my my you lot are gullable
What! No pictures???
Whoa! Garrett, thank you for sharing. I needed a giggle – this was awesome. That’s totally something that would happen to me. I just hope your Mom didn’t get sent to jail for abuse and have to explain THAT in open court. “Judge! I’m just trying to help the boy toughen up and feel manly…um, he MADE me do it!”
Sorry G, but your mom was totally letting you win those arm wrestling contests.
youve got bad balance
Yooooooo! That is the funniest thing I’ve ever read!!! I would pay money to see that happen!!!
i seriously cannot stop laughing! best story on this site by far!
Is your last name Cleverly
Seriously, absolutely hilarious. I almost choked on a blueberry because I started laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing and by the way, your Mom is awesome.
Family vacations can do that to a mom. Did you ever challenge your Mom again after that incident?
She was getting you back for all of those arm wrestles!
Garrett isn’t in right now.He’s selling some ocean front property in Arkansas.
Did mama say that gift shops are ‘the devil’ before tackling you?
