I wonder what it could be?

Shortly after Stickboy (my pet name for DH), got home from work this evening I went for a walk since the weather’s still decent (for now) when this woman carrying a small child (her son who’s about 11 months old) about to walk past me asking me if I had the time. Unfortunately I couldn’t help her (left my watch at home), she thanked me anyway when her son started to smile then giggle at me. She looked at her son then back at me commenting, "This is the first time he’s done this". I’m thinking – okay, I know I can look a little weird but this is something else than respond, "that’s okay, he’s only a little guy." Cocking her eyebrow she shook her head replying, "That’s not what I meant. He’s been in a foul mood since we left home and suddenly he spots you then he’s all smiles."

We talk for a few minutes more about her son, when she then says "You’re very good with children. You’ve got to be a mother." My first thought is ‘yes’ it’s kinda obvious with the extra weight and tired look about my face when I told that I have 3 at home. Chatted again before carrying on our separate directions.

It just threw me for a loop but in a nice way. Is there something about me that only little kids can notice certain things like personality, demeanour or if a person is just plain weird? *lol* I wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary. To be honest, I wasn’t looking rather cheerful and had been thinking about the stresses of the day when I encountered these two.
