Since I became a grandpa ten years ago (now 10, 8 and 10 months) I notice little kids more than I used to; a lot of times they bring a smile to my face. But I am concerned that someone someday will misinterpret my interest and accuse or attack me. And there is really no response to that accusation except to punch the accuser's lights out!
I know what you mean. In this day and age everyone is suspicious. It makes it hard on normal, healthy people, yet somehow not hard enough on the actual perpetrators.
