People with siblings know that there is nothing better than having protective older ones, because sometimes, they love you the most. To test this unfiltered sense of protection, a mother named Megan decided to prank her son, faking that his sister had been kicked out of school after an argument with a boy. She (@meggantrahann) posted the video on TikTok on October 29, 2025, in which she pretended to have a heated conversation with her daughter about her suspension. The son, who was sitting beside her in their car, overheard the exchange and got confused. When he asked what had happened, the mother told him that a boy had hit her in the face, and then she was suspended. The video has garnered 10 million views online, with over one million likes.

The son asks what has happened and how. As the call continued, the situation escalated. “What she did?” he asked his mother, who continued to speak over the phone, pretending to ask her daughter about the argument she had with a boy. However, the moment her son heard the word “hit,” the whole situation changed. “It don't matter if they were arguing; he hit her in the face,” pointed out the mom, who was worried about the "wrong things." She then explains that she is trying to understand how the argument took this turn. Her son interrupted her and said, “The keyword is hit. Not if they was arguing. Not if they was play-fighting. He hit.” He then suggested his mother email his coach, because they were going meet her. “We’re going to be in Louisiana tomorrow,” he said.

The brother looked furious and continuously pointed out that the boy hit her, and that was all they should be worried about. Megan, still on the phone, told her daughter, “Your brother’s upset.” “Nah, I’m not upset. You should be upset, too,” replied the brother. The woman tried to explain that she was trying to get to the bottom of it. Her son got angrier. “Get to the bottom of what? It’s nothing to get to the bottom of. He hit her. That’s the bottom of it.”  Megan was not expecting this reaction from him, and in the caption, she wrote: “He don’t play the radio about us.”

Not just the mother, but even the viewers loved the protective brother. “His blood pressure went from zero to 1000. Don't make my nephew bring smoke to Louisiana,” joked @user7066740991421. “His future wife is a lucky girl, too. Good raisin’ mama!,” expressed @mishmish1977. @cori_999 noted, “We love a protective brother!”
