Andy, You’re A Star
I had my first “what a beautiful girl!” experience. And I was complete caught off guard. “Huh? What? No, he’s a boy.” Then after the awkward “sorry” and “He’s very handsome” (yeah, whatever), I sat staring at his picture wondering if his features were feminine. Not that it matters, it a picture of a 3 month old baby. But still, since I knew he was a boy before I even saw the pictures, I never even considered it. After all, he wasnt dressed in pink (or purple, for that matter). And yet something about the picture said “girl” to this person.
It’s interesting how “Dude, thats my son you’re talking about” defensive I got. That’s not a girl! He’s a man! A manly man! He could kick your ass! Yep, its a fact, I’m a proud mamma.
