Proof that I live among insane people

So, we're at the commissary, and Xander is screaming. Nursing hasn't helped, he doesn't need to burp, I realize that he's probably got a dirty diaper, and since he's been cranking and just thought it was hunger, it may have been that way for a while now. So, I take him to the car for a change while Michael and the kids finish up.
Sure enough, he's dirty and has a very angry looking rash going. I get him cleaned up and slather him down with Miracle Salve and then let him hang out all naked to air dry for a few minutes.
Up walks an MP. I open the door and he says to me, "Hello, ma'am, the woman in that car right over there [points to the car parked 2 spots down with no cars between us] is offended by your baby's naked, um, bottom, and so you'll need to put him down."
Yes, he was standing in my lap, and yes, his offensive naked butt was visible through the window. He wanted to stretch. And he was in pain, so I was doing what it took to keep the kid comfortable for a few minutes!
OFFENDED! By an infant tushie!
What is the world coming to?

Also, we're like the 5 little pigs over here, and boy am I glad our house is made of bricks. There's a tree down a few houses away from us, and today was trash day and every single trash can on the street is laying on their sides and at least one house down from where they belong.
