A Puzzle - What Was Going On With The Happy Dad?

[dance2trance]

What do you think was going on here? I don't know it was too bizarre.
I was in the supermarket. Thursday late afternoon. In my face pasta sauces, behind me breakfast stuff. I was looking for my fave sauce.
A man in his 30s bounced down the aisle towards me with a 5 years old girl he was saying at the top of his voice as he approached 'What shall we get for breakfast? shall we get Corn Flakes, or Weetabix. or even Muesli!!!'. The child grunted. He came and stood an inch away from my face lifted the child high above his head and said 'Oh Darling I love you so very very much!'. The child giggled. He did not have a trolley or a basket. Thinking this was a tad creepy I sidled away. He hesitated then dashed off back the way he came without any breakfast cereal carrying the child who was silent.

A while later I bumped into him. He was walking silent with a firm hard face in a straight line to another part of the store no child in sight no basket no trolley. No nothing hands empty. I moved to a crowded section of the store with loads of people.
So was he a week end divorced Dad over compensating? As before but high on coke?
Part of a pick pocket gang seeking to distract me by his antics whilst another 'dipped' me? There were a couple of students standing. Any ideas. I favour pick pocket gang. Grateful for ideas though!

Which pasta sauce did you buy?

[emmie]

what if he was up to no good with the child?
doesn't bear thinking about to be honest

[Mamyalynne]

Crikey, that's a leap Emmie.

[Quoi]

he thought you were his other half - other half now has child and hump for his mistake.
he should have gone to specsavers?

[emmie]

sorry but the bloke sounds bonkers

[albaqwerty]

He's a pimp who arranged to meet one of his 'girls'
The mother of the little girl who he was looking after to make sure the mother turned up with his money.
Met the mother who took her child but couldn't give him his expected quota of cash, hence his face was like thunder.
He couldn't make a scene in public.

[emmie]

and you think mine was off the wall, crikey indeed

Aww! You should have followed him! I hate mysteries. :-(

[Mamyalynne]

I didn't realise you were joking Emmie.

[emmie]

mamy
i wasn't joking, children are taken all the time sometimes
by their fathers if there is a custody battle going on.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes they are but it isn't the first thing I think when I see a man and a child having a laugh in a supermarket aisle.

[emmie]

nor i but the whole story doesn't seem right, where was the child, mum?

[Mamyalynne]

Buying soap powder? On the loo?

[Zacs-Master]

'the whole story doesn't seem right'

I'd have look back at d2t's other posts.

Perhaps the mum was just off somwhere else with the trolley and he nand the child diverted to get cereal. Maybe later he'd been sent to get something else?

[emmie]

could be ..

“As before but high on coke?

LOOL.

Are you always this suspicious? What exactly led you to the presumption that this gentleman was a coked up thief?

[pixie374]

My guess is he met up with his wife again in the biscuit aisle, where she told him to stop being such an embarrassing twit. Or words to that effect...

[chelle7272]

lol exactly pixie
