Speaking of babies, and how much I love them. A few months ago, I'm in Barnes and Noble. I'm standing in one of the aisles perusing a book. About 10 feet from me is this 20-something mom with her baby in it's stroller. She's perusing a book with her back to me, and her baby (probably about 9-12 months old) is staring at me and smiling. So I look at the kid and give a mean grimace.....and the kid gets scared and starts crying. The mom turns around and looks at me (I have a straight face), and says "I'm so sorry....." as she calms her kid down. I say "no problem, it's no problem at all.." and continue reading. She calms the kid down and gets back to reading. Kid looks at me again, and the same thing again...repeat. She calms the kid down and apologizes to me again. She goes back to reading. Same thing...repeat. She finally tells her kid, who is pointing to me and crying, "I just can't take you anywhere....." and puts her book away and wheels her and her kid out of there.
Mission accomplished. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
