Flipping the bird is usually inappropriate, especially as a child. This time it's 100% appropriate and golden comedic timing.

Same rule I had with my kids when they were young. You can't swear, unless you can manage to make me laugh when you do. If it's funny, I can't be mad about it.

We told our kids that swearing is fine in the appropriate context. Interjecting into every conversation? Certainly not.

One doesn’t have to be rude to be fun.
Surely a sign of a bad upbringing.

To be fair, for (at least some) non native English speakers, the middle finger doesn't have the same strong connotation as it does for native English speakers. We (again, some, not all) don't have the same strong attachment to its meaning, so we are way more lax in its use.

It's not that rude in the UK but kids think it is due to the American influence. Putting 2 fingers up is more rude
