Reply #121: Well, that might be the bottom line

As I stated elsewhere, I would have thought that interposing myself between her and my toddler would have been sufficient; I'm a shade over six feet tall and a shade-and-a-half over 200 pounds, so it's hard for me to overlook me standing there.

However, I now see that it may be necessary for me actually to speak up, even though the need to do so seems preposterous to me; the stranger should seek or await permission before going for the grab. Since this is clearly not going to happen, I'll have to remember to state my objection clearly in the future.
