Finders Keepers

At Barnes & Noble on Sunday, I heard someone call out, "Is this anybody's baby?".

I turned to see that this came from a young woman holding a two- or three-year old.

The mother did show up after less than a minute. She didn't seem particularly distressed, but did apologize for inconveniencing the woman.

After telling the story to Lyn, we speculated about what the woman would have said if the mother hadn't shown up as quickly as she did:

"I have a perfectly good baby here at the 50%-off table. Anybody want to claim him? Cuz if not, I'm taking him home. Anyone? Going once...."

Of course, it is somebody's baby. They don't grow on trees you know. I would have taken it to the lost and found. I am sure there are bunches of leftover children there.

That's not a baby. That's a toddler.

You really have to be careful getting the little kids off the 50% off table, usually there's something wrong with them. :P
