To want to push someone else's child over....

Whilst having a mosey around a supermarket with my DS [20months] in his trike, chatting about what we could see and what we should buy I notice a boy of about 3 at most 4 but not in school uniform and it would have been the right time for school children looking at DS and following us around. No idea where his parents were as I was mulling over something for a while in this aisle and saw no sign of them. He then went up to DS and pushed his head and chest out [like men do when they're being aggressive and asking for a fight] then he flicked his hand up very quickly, not sure if it was the right finger but the intention was definitely there, I then asked him what he was doing and he ran round the corner, but still kept looking back round at DS. I was so cross I didn't know what to do, thought I should find his parents and tell them... but when I went and saw his Dad, I realised that he was a traveller and therefore may not necessarily be bothered by this behaviour, as it is often their culture for children to copy adult behaviours plus I did not want to go and approach him when I was on my own. My DS bless him, just looked at this older boy quite innocently and then a bit confused as he was acting so strangely towards him, it was me who felt like steam was coming out of my ears I was that bloody angry!!!

Sounds like the kid was jealous of your son riding a trike. Next time leave it at home and don't attract trouble.
No one knows what travellers look like, we have parents at the school who don't wear any shoes (even in winter), but they have half a million pound houses.
Have a Biscuit to go with your Brew then tonight you may need some Wine for the end of the world.
That will teach them!

ZZZen, you've got the wrong Cher.

who are we talking about then?

I presumed it was Cher-Cher because of the song Gypsies, Tramps and thieves?
