I like to use that kind of behavior on the part of mothers to freak them out a little. "Oh, I love children." (Pause) "But I don't think I could eat a whole one." Basically, if they perceive me as a threat, they are not someone I care to waste my time with, and, by the time they are done with them, neither will their children be.
