Chick Magnet

Critter REALLY is a Chick Magnet!

When we're out some stranger will always comment how cute he is. And it's usually women. They wave and smile at him; make cute faces to get him to react. And Critter is such a ham, he laps it up. He loves the attention.

Yesterday, we were at The High Line. We're sitting on a bench, my back to the pedestrian walkway and I was taking pictures of Hubby and Critter when from behind me I hear.

"Oooooh, so cute. He's a boy? He's very cute."
I turn around and thank them. It was three young Asians (mid 20's), two female, one male.
Then they ask "Can we take picture?"
Hubby stood up holding Critter and said sure. I got up so I'm not in their photo of Critter. One of the women stands next to Critter, posing, and the man starts taking pictures of them.

HUH? I thought they wanted to take photos of Critter. BUT they wanted to take photos of themselves WITH Critter!
I found it charming and amusing. I wanted to take a photo of this woman posing with Critter but thought it'd be tacky.

BUT when the other woman did the same; standing next to Critter striking a pose; she even posed holding Critter's hand, gazing deep into his eyes; and her male friend was snapping away, I couldn't help myself, I had to take pictures of this love struck woman.

Well, hello there!

Critter is Speechless after the Display of Affection

Hubby and I were scratching our heads after. Like WTF, why would anyone want to take pictures of themselves with some stranger's child? But Okay. Maybe, these two women will start the Asian Division of Critter's Fan Club.
