Baby stealing lady

Yesterday when we took Katya for a walk through the town, we stopped at a cafe because Katya said she was hungry. We let Katya order for us, since we had no idea what the menu said. She order two pastries and five orange sodas (as a credit to Katya, she did try and order sandwiches but they cafe didn't have sandwiches and at least she didn't order coffee!). The pastries weren't bad and the orange sodas were pretty good, too. While we were sitting there, a lady with no teeth came along and started saying something in Russian (or probably Ukrainian) and the only word I really understood was "pajouooste" (please). I understood from the beginning that she was begging for money, as she kept making a motion like she was carrying a baby and pointing down the street, but kept saying to her "Niet. Ya ni ponimayo." Alex on the otherhand, thought she either wanted to hold Tony or steal him. It was so funny!
