| I mean, I wouldn't LET my kid do it, but the kid learned something new and was trying to show it off. The parents most likely didn't know he was even doing it. Bad behavior, sure. Little monster? Eh...not quite. |
| A monster? Lol I would laugh my face off. Kids are funny. Why you so mad. |
Ha ha! Yes. I live in NJ and we call it the "New Jersey wave" or the "New Jersey salute." With the way people drive in NJ, we've all given or received the finger at least once. |
How would you know? |
| LOL do you think the parent didn't know? That's cute. |
|
Say something? Really?
OP, that's how people get shot in road incidents. Learn to MYOB unless it really matters. I'd personally ignore or chuckle. Oh and I'm sure the parent already knew. |
| Kids flip off teachers too. Parents think it's funny. Kids are precious. |
| If a woman was driving, I might smile, wave, and say, “Hey! Your adorable kid is flipping the bird to drivers. It made me laugh, but I thought you might want to know.” |
| Wave to the 8yo in a friendly way, as if you think he's giving a friendly greeting. It will make him crazy. He's looking for a reaction of shock/etc. |
| I would nod my head and give him the thumbs up. |

Love that OP equates a child sticking his middle finger up with “monster”
Kids do things to test adults and boundaries. Raise your own little monster and leave others alone. |

Don't be angry with parents like that, when their spawns become teenagers they will reap the rewards of their bad parenting in spades. |
| There are so many posters on DCUM (like OP) where I am puzzled by how they even function in the world. |
Give him the bird back.
