Embarrassing moments . . . or, All's Well That Ends Well (with apologies to Shakespeare)

At the entrance to Whole Foods, there stood a small boy, a man and a woman, all of whom appeared to be unrelated.  The woman was asking the man why he was trying to shepherd the  child to the store management.  The man explained that the little one was lost.  

"The little boy is not lost; he's  with me, shopping and helping me look for a carriage."

"Looking for a carriage?" said the man. "I thought he said he was looking for his parents!"

      hearing aid anybody?
      how little was the boy?
      how close was the proximity of all?
      how on earth could this have happened?
