Another Crazy Guy Encounter

I took Ellie to the Children's Museum today. As we walked through the skyway, I smiled at a guy who didn't look so normal, but being nice is the right thing to do, right? Anyway, sure enough, he wasn't so normal and perked up right away and sprinted after Ellie and I down the skyway. We kept walking briskly, and he engaged my poor sweet daughter in nonsense kid-directed conversation, such as, "I'm not Dr. Seuss! Both of you are just as cute as I've ever seen" and random lines from children's books.

He stopped following us when we got into the museum, and another mom just inside the entrance told me she was worried about us and had been keeping an eye on us. Thanks, but it would have been nice if she had kept an eye on us where I could see her instead of around the corner so that I thought I was in an empty skyway! I let security know that a "kind of nutty guy" had followed me down their skyway and made me feel uncomfortable.

I attract guys like that.
