Stranger Approaches My Daughter, Gives Her a Present

[El Diablo]

LFS,

Coincidentally, I just texted "Happy Sunday!" to this chick I want to bang.

Edit: Creepy dude running up to your kid in public = grounds for preemptive ass kicking.

The guys from the 'moron neighbors' post will be over soon to tell you it's your own fault now if you let your daughter out in public now that you know freaks are out there.

Did you hit your head when you were young or were you born retarded?

Two things:

It was Noon on a Sunday, so I'm guessing the crowd was very much post-church. Once we were inside a woman with a similarly-aged child started talking to me and asked where my daughter is going to preschool. As it happens, she's going to a preschool at a Jewish Community Center in my neighborhood, and the woman's eyes widened a little when she heard that. Frankly, if the guy had handed her a star of David or a Koran I would've been just as annoyed.

This was not a normal-looking nice old guy. I'm guessing former meth addict who was born again - really craggy looking face, goatee. I'm guessing he was 40ish but looked older at first glance.

That's supposed to say "He said" right?

No, I jumped in with that because I didn't want Reverend Weirdo to launch into an explanation of what it was.

LFS,

"I'm guessing former meth addict who was born again - really craggy looking face, goatee."

"he comes and sits strangely close to us."

"he says hi to my daughter and gives her this:"

"And says "Happy Sunday!" like three times."

I think if I had a 2yo daughter and a guy like that started talking to her I'd be really freaked out.

[guids]

this totally depends on how old the guy was, if he was 80, fine no big deal, if he is 40, I go a little crazy on him, I really think though that you should have thrown the gift away and made a point to your daughter that "we dont accept gifts from strangers".

[Los Feliz Slim]

FWIW the pedo angle didn't even really occur to me, the guy was proselytizing to my daughter.

[daryn]

she's 2. she has no idea. if the guy was trying to convert anyone it was you.

I'd be in this guy's face something awful.

I should note that "selling religion" pissed me off more than "greeted my kid". If he gave my 2½-year-old boy a pack of baseball cards, I'd be totally cool with it.
