This would have made *my* day too!

When my kids were little and we came across a nursing couple sitting on a
bench at the mall, I would say to my child (so that the mother could
hear),"Look, that baby is getting "Baah" just like you do. What a good mummy
he has!"  Nowadays, I smile sweetly at the mother and tell her what a
wonderful thing she is doing for her child. Positive reinforcement works
wonders and its consequences are far reaching.
