Haha you could tell the mom was disappointed in her son.
But honestly, these kids are just looking for attention, in my opinion. I have these kids at my school who wear these weird-ass hats that are either a) a demon of some sort, b) an animal, or c) a pokemon character, and they go around trying to act like they want to be unique and different, when in reality you can tell that they hate the fact they don't fit in. Just my two cents.
