He Didn't Know Who I Was

I haven't seen the man in just over a year.

It's only been a year.

I haven't changed that much.

In fact the only thing different is my hair color is a bit darker. No big deal right. You'd think that someone who'd known me for 29 years would know who I was right?

We decided to surprise him at work. We showed up and he was gone. Go figure! Men! We got drinks and decided to go do some other errands. The man at the counter shouted "he just pulled in hold on a second".

We waited. I ran over to the door that he was going to come in. He walked in and shouted to the man at the counter "hey my apron is frozen!" I was about 6 foot from him and I replied "then throw it in the dryer!" He looked at me. He thought I was waiting on him to go by so I could get to the door. He said "I'm going this way and started to walk past.

I was amused. Shocked. I said "Dad!"

He looked puzzled! Then it was like you see a little light come on as he realized this his daughter was standing in front of him.

Then he said "you colored your hair!" Yeah like that's his excuse. It could be that he didn't know I was in town yet and thought I was in Missouri still.

My Dad didn't know who I was and I thought it was funny!
