Little girl steals Pope's hat, and thinks it's the funniest thing ever

For many Catholics, meeting the Pope is a once in a lifetime occasion, but we're not sure blogger Mountain Butorac was expecting anything like this to happen.

The devout Catholic who live in Rome decided to take his little goddaughter to meet Pope Francis, while her family were visiting from Atlanta. 

But when the Pope leaned in to give the little girl a kiss on the cheek, she stole his famous cap. 

Yup, took it right off his head. 

Giggling away to herself, she was clearly delighted with her steal, and was a little reluctant to give it back.

Thankfully, the Pope saw the funny side to it, and laughed off the incident as he put his hat back on. 

 The little girl's godfather uploaded the video to Twitter, and we are so glad he did – her cheeky grin would make anyone smile. 

"Right before she went up she was a little nervous," Mountain Butorac told CNN.

"Then she stole his hat. It was hilarious, everyone was laughing including the Pope."
