Percy: Did you see that? What was it?
Marcus: What was what? I didn't see anything.
Percy: It just flew by the door. How could you have missed it?
Marcus: My eyes can't be in two places at once. I was looking at you.
Percy: I cold have sworn it thumbed its nose at me.
Marcus: I didn't know of anything that can fly and thumb its nose at the same time. Come to think of it, I can't think of anything that can fly that has a thumb.
Percy: Well, next time it flies by, pay attention!
Marcus: Next time it flies by, thumb your nose back at it.
Percy: I just might do that.
Marcus: And Cyndi thinks I don't live in the real world?
15&Meowing asked a good question: What does it mean to thumb your nose?
"If you thumb your nose at something, you reject it or scorn it." (From Using English)

If it was a squirrel, then of COURSE it thumbed its nose at you! Squirrels do that to EVERY CAT! A flying squirrel...er...maybe?
