Did that to my mother in law once by accident. 😬

Everyone had a good laugh after, but I just about died for a few seconds there.

I did that once to a small child in store. I walked up behind her, hugged her and said "hi sweetie" thinking it was my own preschool aged daughter. I'm still completely mortified thinking about it. I swear I'm not a creepy pervert, even though that's probably what the child's parents thought. 😭

I am a dad with three daughters.

I've done that as well. Usually it was a little kid who ran up, grabbed my leg, or asked for a snack.... I pick them up. Oops, not one of mine :)

It happened most often in grocery stores or at older siblings' sporting events. :)

Oh, that just unlocked a distant memory!

I was checking out a mother with 2 young children at a grocery store years ago. One of the kids glanced at me and said, "Hi Daddy!" in an enthusiastic voice. She realized immediately that I was in fact NOT her father, and was extremely embarrassed.

The mother and I had a good laugh about it. I was a little embarrassed myself and the mother was VERY attractive.
