"How old is he?" says strange man pointing at Michael in a restaurant where he was shaking his little booty to the mariachi band.
"He'll be 3 in March."
"March what?"
"15th"
"That was my son's birthday. He died. He would be 26. He (pointing at Michael again) reminds me of my son."
"Um, thanks. Sorry for your loss."
"That's ok. No biggie."
What exactly is the correct response to this?

Ugh. Just ugh. Sounds like you did it as best you could. Although “no biggie?” Good goodness.
If he had kept talking I would’ve figured out how to leave.
Happy New Year.

Umm, how uncomfortable for you.
Maybe the “no biggie” response was for your benefit not his. Maybe he didn’t want you to probe (like he did).
I can’t imagine handling it any other way than you did.

I probably would have wanted to say “oh no – what happened?” because I am terribly nosey and inappropriate. Although probably I would have done what you did – and then gotten the heck out of there!
