Today Hannah and I went on a Mother, daughter date to Wendy's. While we were there, Hannah saw a man who she thought was her Papa Burgess. She kept saying, "Papa, Papa!" The gentleman kept trying to ignore us and eat. She didn't let up. She was convinced that was her Papa, and couldn't figure out why he wasn't talking to her. The more I tried to tell her that Papa was in Idaho the more insistent she got. She went on to point out his hat, shirt, and pants telling me that they were Papa's. (They were indeed just like her Papa would wear!) Finally he got up to use the restroom, and I told him that she thinks he is her Papa. He kindly said hi, giggled and went to the restroom. When he came back she got even more excited! Now she didn't want to leave the restaurant! I told her to tell him good-bye, and we had to go! She said good-bye to the man, so we were able to leave! I think we need to live closer to some grandparents. I think seeing Papa this past weekend really had him on her mind!
