Weird time to be alive when we are afraid to get within 10 feet of a kid a yell "HEY KID, GET OUT OF THE ROAD!". And yet, totally understand.

Not too long ago, my son was riding his bike down the street (which he's not supposed to do, he's supposed to stay on the sidewalk).

A driver yelled at him, something fairly vulgar like "get out of the fucking road, asshole!"

He came home and reported this to me. I was more gentle obviously, and told him that the guy wasn't very nice for swearing at him.

But honestly, I don't blame the guy, and I'm happy he yelled at him. I'm sure he'll remember that incident next time he's cruising down the middle of the road.
