“Are you stealing that baby?”
This was the question my husband was asked this evening when he picked up our 9 month old from daycare. He was already inside, which requires a security code, and had walked past many employees to get to the baby room in the back. He told me as he was leaving there was a mom with her two kids that were taking awhile at the exit, so he stood back, waiting patiently to leave. After a moment, the mom sternly asked, “are you stealing that baby?” and he thought she was talking to her child. That maybe the child had snuck a babydoll out to try to take home. But then she asked again, and my husband realized she was talking to him, with our LO calmly in his arms. Any other new dads out there with similar experiences?
