At the park last night, a very adorable hispanic girl, about the same age as my daughter, came up to me and sat next to me on the park bench. My daughter and I had been there for about an hour, and would soon be leaving. I turned to the little girl, smiled, said hi and gave a polite wave - the kind that adults give to cute little children they don't know. She said hi back to me, and pointed to a man she announced as "my daddy" - her father, who was standing nearby on the footpath. Earlier, as I had been blogging while my daughter played, the man she identified as her father had been sitting next to me on the bench, toying with his cell phone as well. I looked at him sheepishly, and said "Hello." He said "Hi," and smiled back, awkwardly. Then, I looked down at his hand. No ring. His daughter was trying to set us up! If you've ever seen Super Troopers, you know it's hard to make a dark man blush, but this hispanic guy did. I called my daughter over, and we got washed up and left. I felt bad for the guy that he must have been embarrassed, and it was cute of his daughter to try assuming the role of cupid, but I am very thankful that my daughter does not subject me to such uncomfortable situations with adult men!
