Is she being ridiculous?

At a family disco on our last night of holiday and that song that all parents love tolerate comes on: Let it Go. The table we are sitting at has another family with a son and daughter, we have all been chatting politely the past couple hours and kids are playing. The girl with the family starts enthusiastically singing along with the song and I say 'I take it you like Frozen?!', to which the mother says 'I really don't think it is appropriate to assume that just because she's a girl.'.

Eh?! She was singing along, giving it laldy!

Was I in the wrong?!

I think you should probably Let it Go. Grin

MargoReadbetter · 10/04/2015 21:21

Huh? What did you say?

Edna1969 · 10/04/2015 21:24

Really? Have not meet a female DC or parent of who doesn't love / hate that song!

CaptainAnkles · 10/04/2015 21:24

'I made that assumption based on her knowing all the words, not on her being a girl, you absolute nutbar.' would have bee the right response.

WibblyWobblyHead · 10/04/2015 21:25

Yanbu. She's was being ridiculous and rude, even if she wasn't singing along you were only making conversation!

I haven't seen frozen yet and am so sick of hearing about it, I know the words to the songs I've heard them so much! Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 10/04/2015 21:25

I think it's always best not to engage with people like that.

WorraLiberty · 10/04/2015 21:26

Must have made for a frosty atmosphere

verybluebananas · 10/04/2015 21:27

Both my boys sing along to Let it Go, and my six year old knows all the words.

Edna1969 · 10/04/2015 21:27

WibblyWobblyHead my DH hasn't either but has heard it a lot (oh the joys of in car video).

NormHonal · 10/04/2015 21:29

I know SEVERAL young boys who would also have sung along and happily worn an Elsa dress whilst doing so.

She was BVU.

Bit of an icy comment.

WorraLiberty · 10/04/2015 21:37

Actually the mad mother in the OP sounds like a Mumsnetter

"AIBU to think people shouldn't assume my DD likes Frozen, just because she's a girl?"

C'mon own up.

Who is it?

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 10/04/2015 21:50

I am also convinced she's a MNer. Or if she isn't, she should be.

TwinkieTwinkle · 10/04/2015 22:06

Thank goodness I'm not being ridiculous! I was genuinely gobsmacked. Thankfully a family quiz started soon after so we shifted and kicked their asses.

Ha! DS class get music every Friday, apparently it's always Frozen and What Does the Fox Say? I can't decide what's worse...

Definitely a mnetter Grin

MrsCosmopilite · 10/04/2015 23:03

She sounds a bit of a loon.

I had DD blasting out her version of 'Frozen' in the supermarket queue last week. We've not seen it (she's seen bits of it) and I loathe it.
