somebody else's pappy

child: "can i call pappy?"
mother: "sure"
mother instructs child which numbers to push
child: "pappy?"
"hi pappy, do you want to go to the park with me"
"today after dinner.  we're going to the park after my dad gets home and we eat dinner"
"my park"
"you know my park, the one across the road"
"the one we went to for the picnic for sunday"
"you know, nick was there and people, the picnic for sunday"
"bemember"
"bemember pappy, my park, the one across the red road"
"which park mommy"
mother: "_________ park"
"yeah, _______ park, you know, the park with the picnic"
mother: "o_______t park"
child: "o____a___t park"
"will you come to the park with me"
"why"
"but why"
"why did you move"
"why did you move from your house"
"why pappy"

this is when the mother realizes something is not right and gets on the phone and asks "dad?"
"wait, who is this"........oh, not the right pappy. 
...............................
 yep, we called some random stranger who happens to be a pappy.  so while penelope thought she was talking to her pappy, he thought he was talking to his granddaughter, hannah.
and that's when i collapsed to the floor in hilarious laughter.
the above is what i can remember from a 5 minute, that's right.. about 5 minutes if not more, conversation with the wrong pappy.
and these are the pictures i took of p's first official phone conversation.... a la land line style.... with someone else's pappy.
