O-o-kay

A funny thing happened earlier this evening, and I'm still trying to understand it. Here's the setup: Renee and I are at the Sweet Factory at Bridgeport Village; she is picking out candy, I am trying to contain my indignation at the prices. She pays for her selections ($13 for a bag of candy?! Oh my...), and as we walk out, a little girl runs up and asks, "Did you buy that candy for your children?" Renee and I stop and just stare at this kid who came out of nowhere with her random question, like "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Finally, after what felt like minutes of silence between us, I force out something like, "Nooooo, we don't have kids." The girl seems to accept this answer, and I somewhat jokingly add, "We just like candy." As we quickly walked away, I heard the father of Miss Nosey say, "What did you just ask those girls?" I'm guessing she wandered away from the playground equipment nearby and he was just as surprised by her inquiry as we were. So now I want to know if she was watching us as we looked at the candy inside the Sweet Factory (and if so, why?), and what exactly prompted her to run up to us.

And for the record, a play structure next to the candy shop is just plain mean to all parties involved.
