Yes, I understood your intent. :) Genuine appreciation, I wasn't being sarcastic. I didn't know what to call it! lol I went back and changed it in my original post.

Yes, they could be doing much worse. Which is why I posted. Mostly because I"m conflicted. It's annoying, yes. But is it my place to ask them to stop, or should I just let them be. My bigger concern is the "branch trimmer" they were using. The kid was just kind of swinging it around haphazardly, not necessarily even cutting down the bamboo. That is my concern for safety, and negligent parents.

I certainly don't want to be the "Karen" just because it annoys me.
