OH MY GAWD I HATE THAT!
One time I was at the pool and after shaving my legs at home I missed a spot. A tiny spot. Like a "How would anyone even NOTICE that" spot. This little shit came up to me and laughed in THE shrillest voice that Ive ever heard that "BAWHAWHAW YUR LEGS UR HAIRY". It was a little girl too so I was like "Just wait until you're older, your legs will be hairy TOO!" She ran away crying. Little Cunt.

If a nasty little fucker said something like that to me and either his Moo wasn't around OR she was standing there and didn't correct it immediately, I'd hone in on it's most obvious defect and respond, "Yeah, and your big ears make you look like a hound dog", or perhaps, "Yeah, and your hair makes you look like Howdy Doody", or maybe even, "Maybe so Pig Face, but with that huge nose of yours you should be careful when it rains and not look up or you might drown yourself with a snout like that".

I actually just found out yesterday - turns out I'll likely be losing the gig.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons why I can't stand kids (although there are another 1000 reasons as well). They waddle or walk up to you, say something rude and then everyone smiles because "they're little and don't know any better". It's a huge reason why I avoid them anywhere I go, because they stare and then blurt out something mean.

WTF is up with the staring? When I was a wee sprog, I was taught it's rude to stare.
An ex-friend who was a total Breeder brain was telling me about her little girl who was about 8 or 9. They were in a public place and they encountered someone with a tracheotomy. Breederilla proceeded to tell me how she felt sorry for "Poor Snotleigh" who just kept STARING at the man because she had never seen something like that before.
I wanted to hit my clueless friend. Poor Snotleigh, my ass. How about the man's feelings? He was just trying to go about his business without some shitling starting at him non-stop.
It's really poor parenting all around.

The second episode occurred at the bus stop, I was waiting for my bus, minding my own business when this little girl started staring at me and yelling, 'Hey, your hair!' and 'Hey, your piercings!' at me. Her moo was standing right next to her and talking to someone but completely ignoring her sprog's stupid behavior. I popped my earbuds into my ears and drowned the brat's shrieks out with some rawwwk.
Oh yeah, kyds are so refreshing! eyes2
"Hey, your fugly face, hey your whore of a mother" Pretty sure moo would pay attention then.

I dropped it from there, since we'd been talking about this for 2 solid hours by that point.

I understand that this is my friend's grandkid, and she's going to defend him no matter what

[And I'm not so sure I would want to be associated with your friend anymore, but that's just me. Being 50+ myself, I thought I was immune to losing friends to parunthood, but unfortunately I'm finding when GrandSnots come along, formerly smart-thinking women can turn into assholes in a moment.
Side story: Some of you all will be familiar with my stories about GrandMoo. In retrospect the trouble started when her daughter had her first (ill-advised, on-shaky-ground-marriage) sprog. I bought her some kind of fancy sling to put the baybee in. It was really fashionable and it looked chic as opposed to baby-craptastic and it was PLENTY EXPENSIVE, but there was some issue with the sizing or something and it turned into a huge clusterfuck with Daughter sending e-mails to wherever I bought the thing. (online)
Daughter didn't get satisfaction from the retailer and I heard ALL ABOUT IT, so she went to the manufacturer and finally got what she wanted. After enduring numerous e-mails about it I thought, Christ, whatever happened to accepting a gift and saying thank you and being gracious and if you need to take it back, do so QUIETLY without burdening the giver?
I know, that would require some actual manners or class.
(It was reminiscent of Whorta and her red boots, but I digress.)
Of course I never got a thank you note, just grief.
TLDR: Grandmothers can be just as crazy and unreasonable as mothers, sometimes moreso. They are older, tired-er and they won't believe kids are little shits. Perhaps they don't have the energy to deal with it.

My solution:
Take back gift with reassuring words such as "I' ll take care of this"
Spend the rest of your life having nothing to do with any petty ungrateful moos.
If confronted about the re-assumed former gift, say that it was donated to a deserving and grateful person.

Also, kyds love to hassle other people. I recall two episodes vividly, the first one happened when I was walking down the road with my then-boyfriend and these two pieces of crotchfruit (aged maybe 5 and 7, a boy and a girl), started following us and yelling at me that I looked good. We decided to cross the road but so did they and they kept following us, we had a real hard time shaking them off! Can you believe that, getting sexually harassed by widdle chyldrun?

In London a few years ago I heard a boy shout "Hey, sexy!" at me and ignored him only for him to pinch my bottom and run away laughing. I was nearly 30 at the time, the boy couldn't have been older than ten and he was clearly doing it knowing he could get away with it, because what are you supposed to do if you're groped by a child? You can't slap them or hit them, can you? It was still pretty depressing though, clearly he had never been taught anything about manners or respecting other people's boundaries.
I'm being reminded of this story which prompted loads of "awwww, he's just an innocent little boy with an innocent crush"-type comments on CNN. I never thought this little creep was cute and I still don't . Urrrggghh.
