I know I shoudn't have but...

I totally messed with a mom at the park.

Dez, Eliot and I were at the park in a fairly open space. Eliot was off playing and Dez was crawling around. I'm not really a helicopter-type-of-mom so I was giving Dez some space to explore. Another mom sat next to him on a curb to tie her son's shoe.

Dez was playing with a stick. The mom started looking around. (clearly for Dez's mother.)

She waited a minute. Then looked around the park again. A little more slowly.

Apparently Dez playing with a stick made her nervous so she asked him to give it to her. Once it was safely removed, she started looking around again, a bit more frantically this time.

She was starting to get a little panicky so I walked over.

"Is this your daughter?" she asked urgently.

"No," I said, "that's not my daughter."

=) Which is 100% true, people.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!! I love it!

And it's not as mean as looking around for a child's mother and assuming the mother wasn't there because she didn't see a woman who "matched"!!
