Where do some people come from??? seriously!

Ok so I decided to take the kids shopping today, at one of the biggest shopping malls in the Greater Toronto Area (or so I think it is??) - Yorkdale. I figured, it's a Friday...middle of the day, after the holidays- everyone will be back to work , right? HA. It was a ZOO!!! We went to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch....and after an hour after ordering our food, it finally made it to the table.

So we decided to walk around (ok yes...I decided, and my children were pushed along in the stroller) a bit, in the over-crowded ridiculousness. Mason fell asleep in the stroller somewhere between Parasuco and Coach- haha which reminds me, Coach was having a 50%off sale today..it was PACKED, lined up out the door- for the cashier - normal person with a double stroller who doesn't need anything new would just keep on walking...I HAD to go see what they had . Anyway- he fell asleep riding shotgun in the Graco Duo Glider, not able to recline since the carseat was behind him. The poor kid was flip flopping from either side with his entire upper body. Finally in Indigo, I was waiting for my sister to finish up and it really looked like the stroller might tip over from Mason's weight -had it not been a duo glider with another passenger and bags etc. A woman actually came up to us, took Mason's head and attempted to re-position him. WHAT?! I looked at her - my germaphobia kicking into high gear and said " Please, don't touch." and she looks at me, continuing to touch my son's FACE [you have no idea how...*shudder* uuuuughhhhh -yuck.] and I looked at her, spoke louder and said " NO. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH. THANK YOU" and she then walked away. A man standing sort of beside us, who just delivered the horrible news of a 15min lineup at Starbucks, moments earlier- looked at me and said " are you kidding me? I can't believe some people" So I'm really glad that I wasn't the only one who thought it was completely wrong, inappropriate and rude that a strange woman just came up and started handling my son's face. Yes ok his neck looked a tad uncomfortable- he's 2...he's like Gumby.
