Where Have I Seen You Before ?

Years ago, while I was traveling with my family to the U.S, I had a light encounter on board one of our flights ( from SF to LA) if I'm not mistaken. We really had a hectic schedule especially when my daughter was only three then. Our itineraries were like 3 days in Honolulu 4 days in SF and so on. That morning we were to leave for LA . On the plane , I was greeted by one steward at the entrance. He smiled at me ( and the rest of the passengers, I supposed ) warmly and pondered for a while then said," where have I seen you before ?" with a kind of deja vu look. I too, was taken aback by such suspicion of seemingly familiarity from a flight attendant in a foreign country thousands of miles away from my place of origin.

" Have I known you too? " I began to figure this out . Then I confirmed my assumption that we didn't know each other at all. ( I told him so. Friendly. )

We had been taking several different flights up and down the past ten days. Surely we might have got on one of his daily flights the other day. He might have seen the same young woman carrying the same toddler with the same hair, the same height and the same look. Of course, this was only my humorous side to silly guess this way.

So, has anyone seen me before ?
