A granny swings a bat right in the junk of a cocky

The old lady was sitting in her rocking chair, her head bent over a book, when you kicked in the back door. You weren’t exactly looking for a fight, but you knew this was an easy score. You had scouted this place out weeks ago. The old lady was alone, lived a quiet life, probably had a nice little stash of cash stashed away.

“Don’t move,” you growled, your hand hovering over the rusty, well-worn pistol tucked in your waistband. “Don’t even think about screaming, I’ll be in and out in a flash.”

The old lady didn’t even look up. She just kept on rocking, humming a tune you couldn’t quite place.

“Listen up, old bat,” you said, a little louder this time. “You’ve got one chance. Tell me where the money is, and I’ll leave you alone. Make a move, and I’ll give you something to cry about.”

She finally looked up, her eyes surprisingly clear and alert. “You ain’t scaring me, sonny.”

“Sonny?” You scoffed. “You better call me sir. Or mister. Or…” you trailed off, then grinned. “Or, better yet, you can call me ‘the one who’s gonna teach you a lesson about respecting your elders.’”

She chuckled. “Respect your elders? You came into my house without a word, threatening me with a rusty gun. You’re not the one respecting anyone.”

You were getting annoyed. “You’re wasting my time, lady. I’ve got a schedule to keep.”

“I’m sure you do,” she said, and then something flashed in her hands. You barely saw it before it connected with your crotch. You doubled over, howling in pain.

“What the hell was that?” you roared, clutching yourself.

“That, my dear boy,” she said, her voice surprisingly strong, “was my new baseball bat.”

You looked at her, your vision blurring with pain. You couldn’t believe it. An old lady had just hit you in the balls with a baseball bat.

“You’re gonna regret this,” you gritted through your teeth. “You’re gonna regret it real bad.”

She just laughed, a low, rumbling sound that sent chills down your spine. “Don’t you worry, honey,” she said. “I’m sure you’ll regret this. A lot.”

You finally managed to get to your feet, your face contorted in pain. “You’re gonna pay for this,” you said, pulling out your gun.

She chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “Is that a threat, dear?”

“It’s a promise,” you snarled.

But then you saw it. A second bat. She was holding another one, just as solid and menacing as the first.

“I don’t think so, honey,” she said, raising the bat. “You see, I’m not afraid of you. And I’m not afraid of your little gun.”

She swung the bat. You ducked, just in time to avoid a second blow to your family jewels. You stumbled back, your heart pounding in your chest.

You saw the fear in your own eyes, reflected in the dim light of the room. This old lady was not who you thought she was. She wasn’t afraid of you. She was fearless.

You ran. You ran as fast as you could, the pain in your groin throbbing with each step. You didn’t stop until you reached the street, then you just collapsed on the sidewalk, gasping for air.

You had never felt so humiliated in your life. You had been beaten, defeated, by an old lady. And you knew, deep down, that she had just been warming up.

A couple weeks later, you saw her at the grocery store. She was pushing a cart filled with groceries, a mischievous glint in her eye. She saw you, smiled, and raised her hand in a friendly wave.

“Well, honey,” she said, her voice soft and sweet. “Good to see you again. How’s the family jewels?”

You just stared at her, your face flushed with shame. You couldn’t even look her in the eye. You knew that you would never mess with an old lady again.

She winked, then pushed her cart down the aisle, leaving you standing there, defeated and humiliated.

You’d been caught, outsmarted and outmaneuvered by a seemingly harmless old woman who could teach even the most hardened criminal a lesson about respect. The lesson? Don’t underestimate your elders, especially when they hold a baseball bat. The lesson was simple, but it was one you wouldn’t forget.
