I totally agree. If I were by myself in a grocery store and smiled at a little kid that's walking by with his parents, it could be taken as "what a nice guy" or "what a creep". Either reaction is almost equally as likely. Now, add to that scene me walking with my daughter in my arms and suddenly I'm the nicest guy in the world. It's like when you have a kid you're automatically "good". You get a pass in to the "allowed to interact with children club".

I think you're on a guilty before being proven innocent kick these passed few days NotPhil.
