Daddy took DJ to Chuck E. Cheese the other day. He came home and told me the craziest story ever.
He starts chatting it up with one of the moms. Her son was the same age as DJ. Before long, our boys became quick friends. He said after a little chit chat she asks if he would mind watching her son while she ran out to the car to get something.
Let me repeat that just in case you missed it the first time.
A complete STRANGER asks another complete STRANGER to watch their 3 year old son while they LEAVE the building.
Of course my husband being the nicest guy on the planet, says, Sure, No problem.
He said she was gone for about 10 minutes. He said he was more upset that she came back smelling like smoke. How the heck do you ask a complete stranger to watch your kid while you go out to have a smoke? And what kind of cigarette was that? It took 10 minutes to smoke it?
I was so MAD at him for agreeing to even watch the kid. I said, "what if she tried to say you did something to her kid?" You know there are crazy people in this world. He said, "she asked him so quickly it caught him off guard." You better believe if I were there, this would NOT have happened. I don't know you like that and you need to take your kid with you. Period. The end. The rides and stale pizza ain't going NO WHERE.
I do realize Chuck E. Cheese has the security feature where you can't leave with other people's kids but, I would not even take a chance with that one.
He said he knew I would react this way and pondered if he should have even mentioned it to me. I told him he can start thinking about keeping secrets from me if he wants to. Humph! Stop watching other people's kids.
You're nice but, you're not supposed to be that nice. Can't let these boys leave my sight without foolishness going down! I told him he probably missed the fact that she was flirting with him too (I didn't need to be there to know miss girlfriend was flirty flirty) with my man! LOL
Reminds me of the Color Purple scene. Not if he my man! Haha.

I have a very similar story. Although, I'm sure she was hitting on him too! Anyhoo, my girls were 12 & 13. We were at the movies and they were sitting 2 rows in front of me. The lady sitting next to them asked if they would watch her kid for a few minutes while she ran HOME for a sec! She came back 1/2 hour later! Her kid was about 4. I could not believe it! I was not aware of this until she left and my daughter came back to tell me. I totally meant to tell her off when she got back, but I chickened out.
Well, should I call you "Squeak" or would you rather be called Mary Agnes : ) I loved that movie. Here's some quotes from it: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Color_Purple_(film)
I think that would have caught me off guard too, and I probably would have said "yes" and prayed that didn't nothing happen to her kid while I had my eye one him.
On the other hand, I would never ask a stranger to watch my child, she must have really been feigning for a cigarette break.
Um hello, a kid was molested around here in a Chuckie Cheeses' bathroom! people are crazy! I feel bad for that kid.
OMG!
What?
I have a hard time telling the men I come across in my life not to seem too friendly to kids because parents may just freak out. In our litigious society, your husband could have been asking for it.
In his defense, I may have agreed.
In her defense, being at Chuck E Cheese with a child by yourself is enough to want you to smoke something a little stronger.
I have one better—while at SeaWorld in the bleachers a stranger asked us to watch his child when he took the sibling to the bathroom.
OMG.. the NERVE! My Hubby took the kids up to the pool one summer and some woman sat next to MY husband and started telling him HER Divorce story. She got all flirty and my kids said to MY Hubby "TIME TO GO!"
I was so mad when my kids told me the story! She was hitting on my husband... OH NO SHE DIDN't! OH YES SHE DID!!!
