The Reality hit me good yesterday.

[just curious]

It was a very cold spring day yesterday. I got bored a bit in the evening and called up one of my fav MPA lady to join me for dinner at 100' Hot pot in Markham. She said she would love to but she has a 6 yrs old niece she was babysitting. I told her I love kids and she could bring her along. She said it was so cool and told me to pick her up in half hr.

I picked them up. The little girl was so shy at first and wouldn't respond well to my hello and chit chats to her. She became lively only after a few minutes at the dinner table and only after I told her she looks just like that princess from the Cinderella story book she was reading. Oh boy..she became so friendly in no time and she's just a lovely little chatter box.

The REALITY hit me good when she called me Grand Pa and told me she has a real grand pa in Korea and I was just a friend grand pa here in Canada. lol. Damn! This was the first time I was called grand pa in my life. Age is just a number but I guess it was a wake up call for me. lol.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, 6 year olds don't really know how to gauge ages.

age is just a number till they chisel the dates into your Tombstone.

As we get older, sometimes we do have to reflect on the decision we made. Sometimes no regrets, but they were tough decisions. Having someone call you grandpa sounds pretty damn cool...

Hey..if my handle name is oldguyzer I can handle that quite easily but I am not..huh. I know I know the kids always tell the truth but I'd rather keep hearing what my ladies told me all da time. They always told me I look much younger than my age and still has a body of 30 yrs old. That's what I want to hear and I tip them well all the time to keep saying that. That makes me feel better and younger. :don'twantto-see:/

Little kids will try to categorize new experiences based on her known information. In this case you happened to fit her schema of "grand pa".
Of course looking at her funny over the top of your glasses probably didn't help.

I know papa. Damn..calling you papa makes me feel younger..lol.
I should have gotten the hint since last month. One sp told me she wished she could have cut my head off and put her boy friend's head on my body...huh.

Hello Grand Pa EACE:.
