Being a parent myself, I have a real hard time just letting them bang
away.  I usually tell them to watch their fingers!  And then I close
the fallboard.  Then I stand there with my hand on top of it as I talk
to the parent.  It works almost every time.  And the parents get the
idea real quick.  Yeah, I could probably be more PC, but I just don&#39;t
have it in me.  :-) It&#39;s like I&#39;m on auto-parent mode.  It just
happens...

on my mood at the moment, I would probably calmly ask the kid to please
