Gummi Bears: Bad Parent or Bad Liar?

I had the following conversation with a middle-aged check-out clerk in the express line at my local grocery store last night:


Clerk: "Gummi Bears, huh?"


Me: "Yeah, my 3 year-old daughter has started to like them.  So I thought I'd get her a bag for Easter."


Clerk: "That's a really big bag for a 3 year old...."


Then there's this long, awkward pause as I quickly try to figure out whether she's implying that I'm a bad parent, or merely lying about who they're for.


Me (changing the subject): "Yeah, you know, I wanted to get her some Silly Putty, too.  But you guys don't seem to sell it..."


Clerk: "Sure we do. It's right over there in the 'Easter' section.  Why don't you grab one while I ring up the rest of your items?"


Me:  "That's ok. I'm kind of in a hurry right now.  But I'm sure I'll be back before Easter."


Another silent pause. My receipt then prints out, but sits idle on the register for a second as the clerk instead looks me in the eyes with a triumphant, skeptical glare that says, "I've got you pegged, you dirty Gummi Bear eater...."
