Prove you're the daddy, buster!
Oh this is rich: http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/22286875/va-father-says-he-was-suspected-of-kidnapping-his-kids-by-walmart-security-due-to-his-children-being-mixed#axzz2UVMArIED
I get interested in stories like this because, being an older father who looks more like my kids' grandfather, I identify with some of the crap that occasionally goes down for heterosexual couples "outside the norm". It was really a lot of fun when my wife and I were dating, more than once a waiter would start flirting with the wife in my presence. Pulling her close and delivering a big smooch always put a halt to things.
Since the birth of my kids it's almost routine to have sales clerks mention how cute it is to see a man with his grandkids. Noted. Haven't been stopped by any cops or security (yet). But you can't take anything for granted and every time one of my special needs darlings has a four star public meltdown I brace myself, expecting some dogooding buttinski to jump in and demand to know just who I am and what is my exact relation to the screaming angelic urchin in my grasp.
So I feel this guy's pain. Big time.

MRG, you have my respect and sympathy. This sort of idiocy must seem almost nonstop at times. You're a patient man, sir.
