This would not help with the stupidity of that particular child, but it's something I've done with my daughter that you might want to consider -- practicing specific, loud, rude responses to adults who are acting inappropriately. My daughter and I practiced -- loud -- "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME" and "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" and "I AM X YEARS OLD, GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" w
The idea being that it's easier to come out with a pre-rehearsed line, LOUD, if you have one already in hand. Now, I have a loud kid, so when she gets going, she really carries. It makes me feel better knowing that she knows that Mom approves of her "talking to a grownup that way."
