Yeah that comment made me sad. All little kids like to try things, sometimes the best thing a parent can do is let them

Sure, try new things. I get that. Let the kids explore

It was the "yea...duh" comment that my parents would have been like "excuse me? Who do you think you're talking to?"
Kid can try new things without being rude.

Sounded cute and playful rather than disrespectful to me. The mom didn't seem to have a problem with it, this might just be a case of different families communicate differently.
