Is it just me?

Okay so tonight at Jumpin' Jacks we had the weirdest thing happen. Some lady that none of us knew AT ALL comes up to Amber and Mom while they're sitting at a table resting and says 'Hey, do you want to babysit' and plops a baby carrier with about a 5 month old baby girl in it down next to the table and walks away. Doesn't wait for an answer, just walks away. TAKES HER PURSE AND LEAVES THE BABY! WTF??? Now when I stopped by to rest (a.k.a. sit down and slow my pounding heart before it burst out of my chest) I thought that maybe she had just run to the restroom or something. 5 minutes pass... then 10... then 20... I seriously started thinking this lady had just found a friendly looking family to abandon her baby to. Luckily she was a good baby and just smiled and cooed the whole time. I sat and talked to her for a few minutes and a lady at a table a few feet away from me was like 'oh she's talking, cute!' Well about five minutes later the lady gets up and walks away and Mom just cracks up. THE LADY WAS HER MOM! She left this baby plopped at our table while she sat at a table five feet away with her back to her. Again... WTF??? I get up to go play with the kids a little more... come back half an hour later AND THE BABY IS STILL THERE. She left her at our table ALL night while she wandered around following after a little boy around 3 years old or sat at a table several feet away ignoring her completely. Am I the only one who thinks this is fucking weird? I mean it's not like we had been camped at that table all night or that someone offered to sit there with her so the mom wouldn't have to worry about hauling her around we'd been up and down all night, wandering back and forth, chasing after our OWN kids... she just decided that we could deal with her and dropped her off and left her! And she was a beautiful baby, we could have just walked away with her and no one would have noticed. Seriously, does anyone else think this is strange? Would you leave your baby with random strangers ALL NIGHT LONG? Let me know, seriously... am I over reacting because I would NEVER do this... with my kid or anyone else's.

The other day at Beckham's birthday party (at a park) I lost track of Kole. I found him 50 yards away under a picnic table playing with a puppy. I only found him cause he had on Jalen's bright ass orange and blue nike jogging suit. Thanks Kesha!!

What I wanna know is why didn't anyone in our family go to this lady and say "Excuse me, but this is your child!" Sometimes you guys lose track of your VA side!!
