AITA for quoting Home Alone to a kid mid-flight and making him think he caused the plane to go around?

I was a flight attendant at the time. We were on final approach—gear down, flaps out, just a few hundred feet from the runway—when this kid in the front row starts being loud as hell. Nonstop talking, weird noises, kicking the seat in front… just chaos.

His mom, visibly at her breaking point, leans over and says:

“If you don’t quiet down, the plane won’t be able to land.”

I tried not to laugh, but it was too good. The kid instantly froze. Eyes wide. Dead silent. I gave the mom a quick nod, like, “Nice one.” She smirked. Team effort.

But then, just as we’re seconds from touchdown, the kid starts acting up again, right as I suddenly hear the engines spool up, the nose pitch up, and feel that familiar surge of G-force. We were going around.

Turns out there was a plane still on the runway, and the flight crew had to abort the landing.

The timing was absolutely perfect. Without missing a beat, I leaned down and said, completely deadpan:

“Look what you did, you little jerk.”

Full Home Alone delivery.

The mom burst out laughing. A couple passengers near the front cracked up. But the kid looked like he just got personally blamed for diverting Air Traffic Control. He stared out the window in stunned silence for the rest of the flight like he was processing a felony.

After we landed, the mom told me it was hilarious and thanked me for playing along. But later, another passenger told me I was cruel and could’ve “seriously traumatized him.” They said I humiliated him and it wasn’t my place to say anything.

It was 100% a joke. The mom started it, and I just ran with the bit. But now I’m left wondering…

AITA for leaning into the joke and making that kid think he actually caused the plane to go around?
