MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- A Michigan boy is being held in a youth home after an argument with his sister over a chicken pot pie turned violent.

An Isabella County prosecutor says the 12-year-old boy is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after stabbing his sister. He says when the 13-year-old girl refused to give up the microwavable pie, her brother drew a nine-inch folding knife.

The alleged attack took place Monday at their home in Mount Pleasant. Their mother apparently broke up the fight and called police.

Medics treated the girl at the scene for an inch-long forearm gash.

7. What brand was the pot pie?

I can't picture anyone fighting over the microwaveable pot pies I've tried in the past, unless someone was forcing another person to eat the things.

10. They are good...

but worth stabbing someone over...I think not, but Hot Pockets on the other hand...well thats a different story

[loudestchick]

11. Hot Pockets? You must be joking. I'd stab myself over a hot pocket.

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. no way...

hot pockets are vital nutrients for college students, that and Ramen. Without them we would wither and die!

[loudestchick]

14. Well, you are right about Ramen...it's a food group.

12. the pot pie is not the reason this happened

I dislike these silly reasons which tend to overlook the real, serious issues that really caused this boy to attack his sister.

16. I think there's a difference between "over a" and "because of a"

I don't think the article says it was because of the pot pie.
