      While visiting relatives in 1972 or so, I got beaten up in Little Rock by two brawny boys my age because my hair hung down to my lower back.

      “Hey, did your mama want a girl?”

      Your mother sure wanted this boy.”

      That got them both off their porch and got me a nasty beating.

        They got the physical victory, but you got the emotional victory, and anyone who gets violent over a ‘Your Mom’ joke like that will NEVER live it down. They probably still think about you sometimes.
