weirdest compliment

Took the bus home with the Junebug on my lap as usual, talking about inside voices, about how the doors on the bus open and close, just like every day.

Right before our stop, another woman on the bus asked me: "Are you the babysitter, or...?"

"No," I said cheerfully, "I'm his mother."

"Really! Wow, well you're really good with him! So many people just seem so, you know..." she said, and then it was our stop so I just said "Thanks!" and we got off.

I have a friend my age (41) who is a grandparent. My SIL is a year younger and has a 9 month old baby. These things can and do happen.
