Has a child you don’t know ever mistaken you for their mom or dad?

[i][c=#BF0080]I took my son to his appointment and as soon as I walked in a really cute little girl about my youngest’s age(3-4) ran to me saying “hi mommy” and grabbed my hand 😳 I figured it was just that the mom prob had long dark hair too. But the whole time I was there she was talking to me and calling me mommy and mama even though I told her I wasn’t her mom 😐 I think she was with her grandma, but she didn’t speak English. I was really surprised the child thought I was her mom, b/c she was Asian and I’m not.

Has anything like that happened to you? [/c][/i]

It's worse when you're a guy, and they grab your hand in a crowded place, look up and see you're not their Dad, and start screaming hysterically.

@BrewCityBarfly This reminds me of something I stumbled upon on YouTube: videos showing the reactions of children to their fathers after they shaved off their beards. Many cried and shunned their daddy. For some they acted like it was the end of their little world. It was so heartbreaking.
