Quote Seriously, this is when not having kids makes me sad! We need a kid to go so we don't look like crazy people stalking little kids!


No you don't - all the other people who have kids are too busy trying to keep them from falling off the train, or something similarly inappropriate that they won't even give you a second glance. And you could always yell out something like "Joshua, get back here right now!!!" or "Maddie, where have you gotten to this time?!" (names were entirely random choices, to protect the innocent). Just keep a stressed out harried look on your face at all times, with your eyes darting everywhere like you are a fugitive on the run, and people will just naturally assume you are parents. Oh, and wear clothes with stains on them - stomach level and thigh level seem to be where my kids get me the worst. Nothing is sacred.

Better yet, let me ship you a couple of kids as loaners!!! Send me your addy, and I'll FedEx them right out!!

I've worked the Thomas event at the Illinois Railway Museum several times. What a madhouse!!! I don't think anyone would notice someone without kids, we can't wait till ours is old enough to go to the movies so we don't look out of place at "kids" movies.
