Last week I had to take my 3yo girl to a public toilet block whilst playing at a park. Walking out of the building a young adult with a shaved head, feminine facial features and baggy clothes was walking toward us. I could see the question building by my daughter's quizzical expression and just as the kid passed us she asked the question that was coming..."was that a boy or a girl dad?" I got a blank stare from the person and straight away replied with "Shhh, don't ask that!" She asked twice more whilst we were still in earshot before I leant over and whispered "I don't know...!" I got a reply "maybe they don't know either?" I answered "that's true - maybe they don't..." with a knowing smile.
I had assumed that the person had kept walking but when I turned around he/she was standing still and watching us with the same stare. I just gave an embarrassed smile, picked up my girl and walked off.
Kids are so honest!
