If I was Telemachus

If I was Telemachus and if some person I have never seen before came up to me and told me he was my father, i wouldn't believe either. I would think he is just some crazy guy telling me he is my father so he can meet my mom. On the other hand I would want to believe that this stranger was my father but i still wouldn't trust him. If i was Telemachus I would make this stranger prove to me in more than one way that he is my father. If he did prove to be my father I would also help him to meet my mom as Telemachus did.
