SO TELL ME WHAT YOU LADIES THINK ABOUT THE SITUATION?????

You certainly did the right thing girl!
Hurrah for standing up for yourself. You handled it with dignity and respect, kudos to you.
If that man is a nutter, well, it's not like it's your fault.
And your son sounds really well behaved.
(Man, if it was me in that situation.... ...God help that man)

I think you had every right to say that to the old man. He should have appreciated that you told your son to quiet down and you apologized. It's good you stood up for yourself.

If that's all that happened then you definitely had the right to say what you did. Go you!

bugger the old fella. You told your son to quieten down. whats wrong with a child singing?

You definetly did the right thing. kids will be kids.
