Angelina Jolie, kids shop for grown-up toys in Las Vegas

No @#$%& doubt about it: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie aren’t raising a brood of prudes.

For the second time in two-plus years, the Oscar-winning actress and their kids showed up at the Bonanza Gifts store on Tuesday and left with a cursing gag toy that would make a sailor blush.

This time it was a fake rubber hand that flips the bird accompanied by a torrent of X-rated language.

“It’s called the Swearing Finger and it’s really foul,” said Angie Hurt, store manager.

For Pitt’s 48th birthday, back in December 2011, his wife and kids gave him a fake parrot with a potty mouth.

She returned to the family’s favorite souvenir store with an assistant, her makeup artist and Pax, 10; Zahara, 9; Shiloh, 7; and 5-year-old twins Vivian and Knox

The flipping finger was among Pax’s items at the check-in counter, said Hurt.

“Pax bought a bunch of items of items from the gag department. He’s the jokester in the family. Everybody was giggling and all excited,” said Hurt.

The store was jammed with customers and many recognized Jolie during the 45-minute stay. A lady approached Hurt and whispered, “I shopped with Angelina Jolie.”

The actress was in town for CinemaCon to promote her upcoming movies “Maleficent” and “Unbroken,” which she directs.
