K-mart Krazy

The other day we were at my moms house and we decided to go to K-mart. Just one of those spur of the moment things. We don't have a clean k-mart around here so I thought it would be nice to go look around.

Well, it was not the greatest experience. Their buggies sucked! Madie wouldn't sit it the front or back of it without saying "it hurt!" Maybe she knew if she kept on the we would let her out of the buggy. So we did, under the condition that she would stay where we could see her...yea right. She went off on a spree and I had to grab her and found the nearest bench and sat her in timeout. It was the moment of quietness that I needed.

As I looked over to where my darling obedient daughter was sitting in her timeout, an older lady had perched herself next to my baby and begins talking and touching. I look over and tell her that she is in time out. The lady just looks at me, as if to ignore, and continues to talk and touch Madie. She was reluctant, because she knows that she is not supposed to talk when she is in timeout (she doesn't quite understand the no talking to strangers thing).

Needless to say, the time out was cut short ( they usually only last 30 seconds to 1 minute anyway). My mom went and scooped her up and said "We're headed to the toys, take your time." When I caught up with them, my mom said "that lady gave me the creeps." I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought she was weird.

I'm obsessive about keeping Madie in my sight when we are out....you never know what crazy is just around the corner.
