Actually, I had a "close call" with something like that. I have an absolutely gorgeous porcelain collector's doll. It's not of a baby, but it's about the size of a toddler. I was taking it to a friends' for her to admire on my vacation. So, following another friends' suggestion of how to protect it on the plane ride, I dressed it in a toddler's snow suit. Nicely padded, easy to carry, only the exquisite eyes showed.
Well, all through the airport, and in the restaurant, I kept getting these ugly looks from people. It was the middle of July, mind you. They were looking at me as though I was the cruelest, most neglectful person in the world, carrying this child around in a *snowsuit* in JULY!!!!!
I kept having to say "It's a doll, not a child!" "It's a doll, not a child!" over & over & over again. I was really afraid someone was going to report me to the authorities!
