12 year old DS - How would you have handled this?

Just been at the park with my 2 youngest DS12 & DD8.

DS is on a big round swing, some girls (teens/preteens?) come over and stand round waiting (the swing is popular with young teens as its massive, round and lots of them can sit on it altogether).

DS gets off after only being on it 1 minute, the girls were not there when he got on. I say "Are you getting off because girls are watching you?"

DS storms over to me, walks right into me with a death stare & has his fist clenched, but not raised as if to hit me, just in a menacing way. How would you respond to this?

We have a 13 nearly 14 year old. Im a placid easy going person but I probably would have lost it. You did well.
I probably would have told me that if he ever even look at me that way he'll see a side of me that he doesn't want to see.
If he thinks for a moment that's an ok thing to do he has a lot to learn.
He'll be in the dog house for a while.

Poor lad is probably mightily embarrassed at been seen as having to have his mother with him at the park at 12, in the first place.

Then totally mortified at you setting out to embarrass him further with your comments.

Don't you like him much ?
