Animals love me, but at 5'5 (shorter than my wife) and Asian, I just get confused looks from most babies.

Also at least twice young kids at the store have told me that I should be the mommy because I'm shorter than my wife - much to the horror of their parents who apologize and quickly run away.

One kid asked me why my eyes were so squinty. Again, to the horror of the parents.

While I get really annoyed at these comments, the extreme horror and dropped-jaw and panic the parents' have totally make up for it. It's hilarious watching them stammer out an apology and yank their kid's arm down the quickest next aisle as possible.
