I could see how sending a kid to the store might be a bit too far, but aside from that it's just harmless teasing. Nothing more than a mild practical joke.

Kids can handle jokes. It's important to learn to laugh at yourself and not take everything seriously. Otherwise you just end up being boring and stuck up.

How is it too far? At worst the kid got a bit of exercise.

Personally I don't think it's too far either--I'd agree with you. I just meant I understand how someone might think "embarrassing" the kid infront of a stranger may be too far

Ah, fair enough.

And apparently many of those people end up on lemmy.
