A kinder, gentler person would not have rolled her eyes, perhaps

Going for a walk:

hat
gloves
vest
boots
find dog, oh right he's right here under foot
collar on dog
find 2 year old, oh right, she's nowhere to be found
corral 2 year old, pin her down
mittens
furry hat that ties under chin
snowboots
jacket
put greasy stuff on cheeks to ward off windburn
lean forward at 90 degree angle, hoist increasingly heavy 2-yr old into backpack carrier, buckle, buckle
put dog on leash
locate housekeys
We're off!
(some time passes)
"hey, lady!" (Man craning neck out of car window, stopped in the middle of the street)
continue walking
"Hey Lady, you're baby shmsu shemjmh!"
ok, I'll bite. "My baby's what?"
"Your baby's asnghg shmush shmush!"
"What, my baby's what?"
"Your baby's ANKLES ARE EXPOSED!!"

And, indeed they were.
