The Mystery of the Chocolate Bunny

"Are you eating your broccolis? And your carrots. They make your eyes..smarter." said the cutely-fobbish Asian woman that my brother and I ran into in Southwest Airlines. She was talking to some little white girl with a chocolate bunny in her hand. Next to the girl was who appeared to be her father, a defensive-looking guy wearing a tanktop and a tattoo. "Only uncover the amount that you plan on eating!" Cries the fobbish woman, as the girl undresses the chocolate. The man looks kind of uncomfortable, while the girl smiles up at him and hands him foil waste. He smirks, but then does something odd- he gives the woman the foil.
That's when my brother starts to notice, as I ask him what relations these three have to each other. They weren't a family, for sure. The way the man and the woman talked was too detached- like how strangers would talk to one another. The girl was clinging to the guy's luggage, and the woman talked to her like she wasn't her kid.
But the stranger would give the foil to the mother, in in that situation. Odd.
This goes on for a little while longer until a new character bring herself into our attention; a white woman who looks like the mother of the child. Apparently, she was there, but remained unnoticed until the little girl knocked over her suitcase. That's when she stands next to the guy and cleans the messy choco-faced child.
Okay, we found the mom. So the guy must be the dad, and the fobby asian lady is meddling around because she wants a family but doesn't have one. But what about the foil exchange? We were determined to solve this mystery.
In the midst of our thought, the mom turns around and starts talking to the guy, the same way the guy was talking to the other lady. (Distant, like a stranger. Remember?)
We came up with another theory: All three people belonged to separate parties, and the child to the "mom" woman. As the line that we were waiting in moved forward, we became more and more sure of our theory until at the front of the line the little girl said she was finished with her chocolate bunny. The mom pulls out a ziplock bag while the asian lady says, "Thats why she always brings the ziplock bags when we travel." to the man. The girl then sits in a stroller chair that the asian lady pushes. (I don't know how we didn't notice that before.)
Lesbians! It had to be true. The other guy was just there, kind of buzzing around.
Everything pointed to it, all the facts matched up. If our theory was correct, the group would break off into two groups at the end of the line.

It was the moment of truth, as we reached the front of the line and the people at the baggage claim shouted, "Next up!" the two women glanced at the workers and made their way to the counter with their baby.

The only problem was that the guy was with them, a single party of one.
Got any theories? Comment me.
