Sure Carnie Freak, Hold My Baby

I try hard not to yell at people in the service industry. I know how it feels to get yelled at when you are just trying to do you job.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. Carnie freaks that want to hold my baby will get yelled at and possibly beaten up after I call the cops on them.

We are walking through the carnival with babes in arm. Carnies are offering to let us play their games. Perfectly fine, acceptable and expected. Then Carnie freak offers to let us play his game and I decline. He follows it up with, I'll hold your baby for you so you can play.

I made and involuntary rude noise and said, yeah right, like that is ever going to happen.

I was bothered but kept walking. About an hour later we walk past the same Carnie freak. He makes the same offer. Really, I'll hold your baby.

I lost it. I turned on him and started telling him off. This is not an appropriate line to get me to play your stupid game. He says there is nothing wrong and gets defensive. I say this is the second time you have asked to hold my baby. You are never going to touch my baby and you should never ask to hold people's baby. He is just looking at me with wide eyes and muttering under his breath. I have to walk away before I really go ballistic on him.

So here is a warning to all scary, gang member looking carnie freaks. Do not ask to hold my child. This offer leads me to believe you are a pedophile that is going to run away with my child or hold them for ransom. If you care for your life at all, do not under any circumstances ask me or any other parent with half a brain to hand over their child. I would not be surprised if you received a serious beat down next time. I might be a girl and I might be smaller than you, but I will beat you to a bloody pulp. Stay away from my children.
