I was in an airport with the baltspawn back when they were too young to talk, travelling to visit the grandparents and leaving behind the baltspouse for a well deserved break. I'm waiting in line at the Starbucks when the lady behind me starts talking to the kids in that really-talking-to-the-parent way. "Where's your mommy?" she says, "You two shouldn't be travelling all alone without your mommy."
So I told her their mother had passed away.
End of conversation.

I love fucking with strangers like this.
I agree with dtb and others that it's a location-based thing; you have to do something pretty egregious in NY of Chicago to have someone come up to you or your kid and have them criticize you. It's also generational; I can't imagine someone younger than 40 or so doing this, and I think that Generation Xers (ugh, I hate that term, but it is good shorthand) and below will probably never try to pull shit like that.
