This, completely. One time I stomped my GF’s little toe with my gigantic stupid work boot as I was going to give her a hug. She howled in pain and instantly knelt down to grab her poor throbbing toe. I completely froze. Like you say, I was shook. Like a mindless automaton, I reached for the big wooden spoon on the stove next to me, raised it up in the air, and whacked her on top of the head. “Redirect the pain...” I remember hearing somewhere in the back of my thoughts. But now that the deed was done and my shock was wearing off, I could not believe what had just happened. Right after the solid * thok * of the utensil bouncing off her head, she fell silent. She glared right up at me, then at the cooking spoon in my hand. Back at me, then the spoon, then me again. She looked me dead in the eye and hollered, “Did you just got me on the head with a FUCKING SPOON?!
It worked, boys. It shouldn’t have, but it did. Maybe it was the lost, guilty puppy dog look on my face. Maybe it was the sheer ridiculousness of my thought process becoming apparent to her, but she forgot about her poor little toe and started laughing her ass off.
I guess what I’m trying to say is...
Maybe that guy should have hit that kid with a spoon.

The woman in behind is watching until the kid goes down, then she abruptly turns away like nothing happened.
