O/T: Rose-Mary's Baby

The craziest thing happened on the bus today.



Mich and I had some business to do downtown, so I hopped on the number

eight, and away we went.



As is often the case, a young mother with a baby in a stroller was there,

and as usual, Mich wanted to get his head in there and give the kid lots of

puppy kisses. I gave the mother my usual "Oh, he loves kids," and she

responded with the standard reply of, "Oh my little guy just loves puppies,"

and all seemed normal in the universe.



But everything went supernatural on the way home.



I was waiting at my usual stop by the hotel McDonald, and got on like

normal, taking note that, once again, a baby in a stroller was just behind

the driver.



Then, I felt Mich fidgeting around, and I thought he was trying to get over

to sniff the baby and give it a few of his kisses.



I started, once again, with the, "Oh, he just loves kids," but something

wasn't right. And, as the mother responded with, "Well, he doesn't seem to

like mine," I noticed he wasn't trying to get over to the baby, he was

turning his back on the kid.



Try as I might, I couldn't get him to sit properly in the aisle, he wanted

to get as far away from the kid as he could, and he wouldn't even look in

the direction of the stroller.



"He seems agitated, ... Not very happy," the kid's father chimed in, and it

was all I could do to keep from saying that he had been perfectly happy

until he met their child.



I don't know if they had their baby in a costume, but, I swear the kid was

the devil's spawn...



Happy Halloween!



Take Care,

Dudley

My guess is that the second baby had a smell that the dog didn't like.
Not the diaper smell, but some chemical smell from clothing, medicine,
or baby powder. Maybe even a food smell.

I've had similar, though not quite so dramatic, encounters with older kids
in colourful costumes. But, it's the first time a guide of mine has reacted
to a baby.

it's quite possible the kid was dressed up for All Hallows Eve, but I'm
sticking with my Rose-Mary's Baby narative. It makes a much more festive
tale...

Take Care,
Dudley

Perhaps you can pose your off-topic socializing anecdotes in some chat room
or forum hosted specifically for people who are lonely and desperate for
pretend internet friends.

Or even a native organic (sweat glands or somesuch) smell, native to that
particular child. Dogs are VERY odor sensitive.

Is Halloween a Canadian tradition, as well as an American one? If so, I
imagine that
your countryman, "RichA," dressed up as a plastic digicam!

Yes. My aunt lives in Arva, Ontario and they have all the US ethics, except
the Queen:-)
