Her son is puzzled.
The boy looked at his mother with a confused look on his face. It was one thing for him to obey his mother, but what should he do when a stranger tells him to move his seat? When the mom saw the worry on her child's face, she got very angry. First of all, why did this he get involved in something that had nothing to do with him? Second, why should her 10-year-old son sit two rows behind her, where she couldn't keep an eye on him?
She shows him who's boss.
At this point, the couple were just as uneasy as they were. They didn't think the man would ask someone, especially a child, to give up their seat. The couple didn't say anything, but the mother stood up and told him in no uncertain terms that her son was not going anywhere but the seat she had booked for him. Even though she felt sorry for the newlyweds, her main worry was about the safety of her child.
