I had to lay down the law to my son, Bill yesterday.
What's the problem?
He's that age when he likes to pick a quarrel with everybody.
I refuse to put-up with his insolence. I'm going to nip it in the bud.
A lot of young people go through that phase when they're growing up.
Bill argues at the drop of a hat. He gets up in arms about any subject you introduce.
Maybe he's going to be a lawyer.
