It was certainly clear she thought the dolls were creepy.
Seanan posted a link recently that talked about a trend right now of pretty teen dead girls on young adult books. Looking at library sites and talking to folks, there are a lot of people disturbed by that trend.
She may not want her kids to play with kids that like creepy things.
I guess I'm just really glad that she was a random mom in the store, instead of someone I knew.
Never thought of you as evil, and your statement "You can have fun with zombies. I'll find other things to do, thank you," reinforces that, because you aren't enforcing your discomfort/dislike on other people's fun. (Mother rules excepted for all us mothers, of course.)
