mess with the bull and you'll get the Natalie

As far as I can tell, meaning what you say is the best way to deal with kids. If you punch your brother and I really don't know any other details, I am going to assume that something led up to that, but that also punching wasn't the best way to deal with it. And if, after that, you throw a fit, I am most likely going to send you to your bed. And if it's 8:30 pm, you are in bed for the duration. If you come upstairs to try and get out of all of this, I am going to let you know that you are in bed for the night, but you can get a drink and a book and read. And I am not going to back down, even if you scream and scream and scream until the screaming is perfect, because I meant what I said.
