The Royal wave

Today, my 5-year-old won't stop princess-waving at people. This would be fine, but she looks exactly like she is giving the Nazi salute. I got dirty looks from nearly everyone at the supermarket. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

They grow up so fast. Waving one day, invading Poland the next.

People literally need to get over themselves. A 5 year old isn't trying to dictate a grocery store, nor does she have any idea what she looks like she's doing.

Well if it bothers you so much, do something. Take her aside and help her learn the wave properly or convince her that she should only wave in the car like they do in parades. I realize that kids will be kids and she doesn't know what she's doing, but she won't get better at it without help. I'd hate for someone to be mean to her because of her innocent mistake. Better to help her practice the correct technique now before she gets used to doing it the "wrong" way.

You are her parent. So be one and educate her the correct way to do the princess wave. She may be to young to understand why her salute looks wrong but it's much better you change her style now before someone takes offense to it and decides to teach her instead.
