The use of "out of his face"

Hi

Would you say that the use of "out of his face" is natural here?

You know that father is very angry with you. You'd better stay out of his face for a while.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi, It sounds OK. 'Out of his face' usually means not just 'stay away from him', but also 'avoid provoking him or confronting him, eg by making demands or arguing or disagreeing with him'. Clive
