Act Like A Kindergartener, Get Treated Like One

I was on a shopping trip for a party, gathering various decorations and treats, when a complete stranger suddenly approached my cart.

Stranger: “Oh, what do you have here?”

She then reached in and started pawing through the items in my cart.

Me: “Hey, please don’t!”

She gave me an arch look.

Stranger: “I was just looking!”

Unable to help myself, I said the following in the sort of tone I use with my kindergarten students.

Me: “We look with our eyes, not with our hands.”

The lady pulled back, looking gobsmacked, and I pulled my cart away, leaving her staring after me.
