Things NOT to do, if you'd like to avoid getting punched in the face. By Me. Or maybe I'll send Bird after you:
1. Come up to my kid in her stroller at Target, and GIVE HER FOOD. Ummm??
a) You are a stranger. How do I know you're not poisoning my kid?
b) You are a stranger. How do you know my kid doesn't have allergies?
c) You are a stranger. How do you know I'm not currently trying to train my child to eat at prescribed times, and trying to get her to eat a wider variety of healthy foods, and NOT the jelly beans you are offering her right before we're headed home for lunch??
What the heck is it with people?? I would NEVER think of giving some strangers kid food in the middle of a store. Emma was just sitting there in her stroller, playing with my water bottle. She wasn't throwing a fit, and it's not like she saw the lady with candy and was begging for some. I get it if you're trying to be nice, but maybe ask me before you just hand her candy? Because guess what, when I took the candy away from her, Emma DID start flipping out. Wouldn't you? And the lady didn't understand why I wouldn't let Emma have the candy! She tried to give her another piece! And then when I told her to stop, she gave me a dirty look, told me I needed to "lighten up", and walked away.
Really? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN HARRISBURG????

That is ridiculous!!! I would be so mad! People are sooo stupid and weird!
Good grief!!! Haven't people heard of 'stranger danger" and that we try to teach our kids about it??? What IS wrong with people in Harrisburg!
UGH...why can't people just mind their own business...??
Harrisburg is freaking me out. Definitely not child friendly....or maybe it's TOO child friendly. Eek!
Yeah. I'm not so sure about these Harrisburgers. WHAT GIVES?
what would that person do if you walked up to them and tried to get them to eat something? I dont think they would. so why do they think its ok to do that with kids? People are stupid!!!!
I've decided the next time something like this happens you should LITERALLY, PHYSICALLY slap their hand, looking really panicked and shout something about being deathly allergic to whatever it is they were offering and then run off looking scared (like you're heading out to the hospital). Go two aisle over and start yelling, "Breathe Emma! BREATHE!"
Then resume your Target trip as if nothing happened.
So, here's another scenario to add to the list (and this didn't even happen in Harrisburg, though the guy could very well have ties to Central PeeYay):
A morbidly obese greasy stranger asked Gaby if he could smell her. Thankfully I was sitting right there, but what the ?!!?!?!
Anna - BAHAHAHAHA! I'm SO putting that in my repertoire!
Sara - CREEPY McCREEPERSON!
I have a practice Epi you can have for the drama of it all.
