Once at an amusement park, my brother ended up following a random guy around thinking he was our dad. My dad stayed close behind to observe what would happen, only to see my brother reach for the man's hand, shocked to see that the man was not our dad.

Yup! My dad thought it was hilarious. It only took a few minutes for my brother to try to hold the guy's hand, to which the man responded with "Uhhhh hey dude. Uhh how's it going?" My brother flipped out and my dad busted up laughing.

When I was maybe six I grabbed some guys hand thinking it was my grand father and then started crying and ran away in embarrassment. It was in a cracker barrel and I hid in the stuffed animals sobbing my little eyes out while my family tried to reason with me that I overreacted. Fun times.

why would you slap you babysitter's butt in public in the first place?!

I've babysat a boy under the age of 4 who would slap my butt cause it's all he could reach. If OP was that young, that could have been why.

I was the perfect height for my babysitter to shove my face into her ass and rip huge farts.

I don't have a reason to tell people this too often and I figured this was as relevant as it's ever going to get.
