This is ridiculously cute, guys.

Conductor: Next stop, Lexington.
Four-year-old girl, cutting him off: Shut up! Shut up!
Mother: Who are you tellin to shut up?
Four-year-old girl: That man! We *know* where we is!
Conductor: Please stand clear of the closing doors.
Four-year-old girl: We know! This ain't the first time we rode a train, sir!

Thank you, whoever it was that introduced me to overheardnyc.

That is REALLY cute!! I remember when Kira said, "gank-yoo door!" to the automatic door at Target once. I love when kids converse with technology (or however you'd better phrase that sentiment).

See, YOUR story is cute! Rude girl story, not so much.

I'm going to have to disagree with the "cute" title.

I don't ever think its cute when a child tells an adult, especially a stranger, to "shut up". Its rude and inappropriate.

Quite honestly, she sounds very rude. So does the mother. Her response, were she respectable, would be "we don't say shut up" and then ask to whom it was directed.


What would have been cute was if another child was there, and told that little girl "We don't say "shut up". Its not nice to tell people to shut up!". :-/

Technically, she didn't tell anybody to shut up. The conductor wasn't actually there, you know.

Still the same though.

I don't think we'll agree on this any time soon.

Probably not, but then, I'll comfort myself knowing my kids aren't rude to adults. :-p
