Unfiltered Story #215209

Context: I am dating a woman with a 6 year old child for about 2 years. We dropped her off at a local school summer camp.

I arrive early to see what shes doing at the camp. I walked along the sidewalk looking over at her playing, while texting her mother on the phone about the playground and how she was having fun.

20 mins later I return to pick her up.

While walking to the car we have this conversation.

Me: “So how was your day?

Child: “Okay, some kids thought you where taking pictures or video of us”

Me: “What??” (shocked by this claim)

Child: “Yeah, I told them I didn’t think so, but that maybe it was my step father. I thought you where busy so I didn’t wanna bother you”

(Shes never referred to me as her step father to other people before, Ive always been the roommate or her mom’s friend)

Me: (Overwhelming joy hits me hard) “Ah, I was just texting your mom to tell her about this camp”

We soon then change the subject and head home.

(I’ve never been so happy to be accused of recording children at a public school’s park in my life. She actually told the other kids I was her stepfather. I must be doing something right after all.)
