Sweet Old Lady, PLEASE DON'T TOUCH!

Today I went to Walgreens. I walked in and started putting Mavity into a cart. There was cart in front of me that I needed to walk around in order to get to the store portion of Walgreens. As I was about to make my move an old lady walked in and cornered me. She started off by saying how adorable my baby is and how she just LOVES babies and isn't she just precious... She then proceeds to start grabbing Mavity's feet and continues to say how adorable she is. THEN...she gives Mavity a hug! But that is saying it nicely. It was more of a squeeze (keep in mind Mavity is strapped into a shopping cart.) So then she starts telling me about how she loves babies and she never got to have her own and how she used to babysit little babies and how she misses them and on and on (don't you just love my sentence structure?). I'm sure you are all thinking, "why didn't you just walk away?" Well I COULDN'T! I was LOCKED in! I tried to signal that I wanted to move but she didn't take the hint. Then I thought maybe I could go backwards, but that would be rude and weird. So I stayed strong and kept listening. This is what I heard next, "I used to watch a beautiful little red headed girl. She was so sweet. I wish I knew where she was now. I would love to be able to see how she is doing. You know that her parents came one day to take her and they had to take her out of my arms. We still live in the same house I wish they would find us so I can see how that baby is doing. She is probably married now." "You know I went to cleaners just now to have a pair of pants hemmed and they wanted to charge me 12 dollars and a half to do it, might as well buy a new pair of pants." Here comes the good part (and by good I mean HORRIBLE). She grabs Mavity's hand and starts kissing it! OMG! Please for the love of god don't kiss her hand! I didn't have any wipes with me so I held Mavity's hand until I got to the car to get some wipes and then wiped her down. She had lipstick all over her hand! It was crazy!!!

Ok so I'm sure the lady is sweet enough and I kind of feel bad feeling irritated about the whole thing but you never can tell about people.

*I didn't proof read this (because I was bored of it) so I hope it makes sense. =)
