At dinner out with my children, an elderly couple came over to our table and the woman was making a huge deal over Z, who is, Ill admit, pretty irresistible. Z said hello, but the woman kept touching her, pinching her cheeks and legs, touching her hair, and Z was not cool with it. I pulled her into my lap and deflected the touching, but then the woman asked Z if she would sing her a song. Z shook her head, because she was terrified by all the stranger danger. The lady was downright indignant. Like, how dare this child who doesnt know me and who is trying to draw pictures in her ketchup with a French fry NOT want to perform for me like a trained seal?? I know the woman was just being friendly, but boundaries are our friends. From now on, when strangers reach for my child, Im going to start telling them she bites.
