SWMBO was at the local council pool doing her aqua-fit class with a bunch of old chooks, I got there a bit early to pick her up- so grabbed a cuppa and sat back to watch the floundering.
When the girls finish thier syncronised drowning class they have a gossip session in the cafe.
While I am scoffing thier cake, a cute little 2 to 3 year old girl came bursting out of the creche "daddy-daddying" climbed up onto my lap and gave me big hugs
Smoking hot young mum came rushing up apologising- turns out cutekids dad/ luckyhubby is a mineworker who comes home wearing a similar hi-vis shirt to the one I was wearing, and hotmum had just told cutekid they were going to "go and get daddy" then she saw my shirt and pavlovs dog reflex kicked in!
the chooks had a cackle over the whole episode- mostly the look on my face, must have been priceless!!

Similar thing happened to me years ago when my kids were little. The old girl did day care at home so that she could be there for ours when they came home from school.
DOCS sent her a couple of kids from a stuffed up family. When I got home the first day the little boy rushed out, put his arms around my legs and cried Daddy, daddy.
It was an awful experience
We've got a 21mth old girl, I can't count how many times she mistakes someone else's legs for mine or wife's in the forest of legs she must be confronted with daily. I love to watch others smile & bend down to say hello...only to see the face of a terrified kid that's made a simple blunder.
The best ones are those who pick her up (mates, colleagues etc.). She freezes, looks around and I always get a massive hug when I take her off their hands.
Reminds me of the guy that got stopped in the supermarket by woman who said, "I think you might be the father of one of my kids".
He stopped, looked at her for a long while and finally replied, "Are you the stripper I banged on the pool table at Johno's bucks party?"
She looked horrified and said, "No, your son is in the year 3 class that I teach!"
I have to keep 300m from primary schools and wiggles concerts...
It's a court thing
I've had the opposite. After going home one night with a pretty young lass many years ago, we woke up in the morning when her 2 year old son run in the room, looked at me, pointed, and said "You're not my daddy"!
I was at a dinner party on the sauce with my wife on one side and sister on the other. Late in the night I put my hand on my wifes leg and then slid it up under her skirt (mid conversation with head turned other way).
but it was the wrong side
walked out of kmart one day holding number 4 daughters hand , got to the doors then heard her distinctive cry from another part of the store, looked down to see a similar , but not my child ,on my hand. I went back to get my daughter, but couldnt find the other kids parent, then the other kid ran off, so we just left
Next door neighbour's 16 yo daughter cut herself on a nail in our common fence.
Neighbour said he would claim med insurance and would I photograph his daughter's gash.
Guess who is in court tomorrow?
