Random couple at ensign peak
My daughter (12f) and I (35m) had one of the most confusing experiences tonight, and we’re genuinely curious if the couple involved happens to be on here.
So We grabbed some ice cream, then headed up to Ensign Peak to catch the sunset because my daughter loves taking pictures of them. When we got to one of the viewpoints, we noticed a couple already there, so I told my daughter, “Let’s give them their space,” and we sat somewhere else instead.
We hung out talking like we always do, then decided to leave. On the way back down the trail, we stopped to look at a hole in the ground, then again to record a beetle because… that’s the kind of random stuff we do. By then, the couple was walking behind us.
We left, headed toward Pie Hole for pizza, and while driving down State Street I happened to glance over at the car next to us. The girl in the passenger seat was ducking down while recording me with her phone. I thought maybe I imagined it, but then I sped up a little and looked over again… she was recording me again.
My daughter looked over and immediately said, “Dad… that’s the couple from the trail.”
At that point, I was completely confused, so I pulled up next to them, and they literally held a jacket up over the window like they didn’t want to be seen.
So now we’re left wondering… why? 😂
Our only theory is that maybe from a distance you thought I was some random older guy with a young girl and wanted to get my license plate or record me just in case. If that’s what it was, honestly, I appreciate people looking out for kids. But I promise I’m just her dad. 😅
For a little context, I’m a 35-year-old single dad but most people say I look 30ish and my daughter lives with me full-time, it’s just the two of us at home. She’s genuinely my best friend, and we spend a lot of time doing simple stuff
The funniest part? When we were talking about it afterward, my daughter said, “If I was being kidnapped, I’d give you a 10/10.” 😂
So… if by some chance that was you, we’d love to know what was going through your minds because we’ve been laughing and trying to figure it out all night.
