“One sec, Archie. I need to ask these two a question.” Then I’m striding toward them with purpose. With each foot I erase between us, their eyes expand to saucers. “Do you ladies have something you’d like to share with us gents?” They flounder like fish out of shallow waters. The brunette finds her voice first. “Uh, no. We just think it’s… cute how you’re babysitting.” My eyes roll so hard that I get a cramp. “It’s not babysitting when he’s my kid.”
