I totally agree with debiraymond....but I think it is sad that in the world today, we have to be so cautious of things like this before we can accept them as a blessing.

Years ago..33 or so..wow..my first daughter had beautiful hair that hung in ringlets down to her waist..almost every time we went shopping at least one person would come up and touch her hair and hug her..usually elderly..and comment on her hair. If that were to happen today to one of my grandchildren, I would probably come unglued....kinda sad times we live in!!

When my husband and I got married, we put two families together. My four kids and his two. When we would go out to dinner with six kids all under 13, we would walk by tables of other diners and see the looks on their faces like, please don't sit next to me with all those kids, please, please, please. But by the end of dinner we very often had people come by our table and comment on how well behaved our kids were. Some even offered rewards like dessert. Maybe this lady was just taken with your family and how they got along, or maybe it reminded her of the past, with her young children. And that was her only way to express it. Like others have said. It could have been worse. Someday that lady may be me. Let me take this opportunity to apologize now.

That totally reminded me of Princess Diaries... now... if Mary Poppins herself showed and was singing it... maybe... but some random person that'd be just a we bit weird. You want that sort of thing then go visit Jessica Rabbit. Though... the look on my DH's face... oh I bet that'd be worth it... hehe... esp. if I joined in (karaoke addict) hmmm...

Maybe she lost a bet and had to go do that to somebody. Or maybe her kids were in the restaurant too, and she did it to embarass them. OK, I admit it. It was me.

I guess I will just chalk it up to a happy person who at least meant no harm, and take it as a blessing. It sure was unexpected though.

It was odd, no doubt, however, I think it was sweet of her to do. Perhaps she was messing with your reality a bit, but sometimes it's good to shake up the social expectations here and there.

I work with crazy, It's best to do what you did nothing!

Wow, I've read everyone's take on it and all sound feasible. I really don't know what I would do either! What can you do? (I will probably wonder about this all day now...LOL.)

I have an Aunt who is schizophrenic and it does sound a bit like something she would do if she were off her meds. It would certainly take a very uninhibited person to do that! Were it a young person, however, I would definitely think it was a dare.

She was probably in her 30's. I really think it was an action straight from her heart, like she was genuinely happy and wanted to share that. Or off her meds.
