I stole this off a friends blog because it’s funny (her kids antics crack me up) but I don’t know if she wants links to hers (will change it if she doesn’t mind – and I’ve taken out her sons name to protect the not-so-innocent)…
The other day at Target (our usual destination) my son asked the somewhat masculine female checker:
“Um, excuse me? Are you a boy or a girl?”
I got wide eyed and shushed him, yet he persisted.
“I’m curious if you are a boy or a girl cuz your hair is like a girl, but your voice is like a boy.”
Luckily the elderly checker was hard of hearing (or maybe just polite) and did not appear to hear him.
As he opened his mouth yet again to repeat his question, I ripped open the bag of tootsie rolls that I was buying and popped one in his mouth.
“YUM! Candy!”
…he cheered and not another word was said about the mysterious she-man checker at Target.

Thats so cute!!! kids are amazing with some of the things they say :) if only we could all be as honest… :lol:
Candy is the universal silencer.There is a bagger at my grocery store who looks, sounds and moves like a boy. He wears a nametag that says “Julie.” So the other day Julie was bagging my groceries and I almost said, “So you’re Julie today.” Or something to that effect thinking he was playing around. But something stopped me.Later I asked my son who works there about Julie. Apparently she really is a girl, but she wants to be a boy and abhors all things girl.I was glad I’d kept my mouth shut for once.
Wouldn’t you love to be able to ask that question sometimes???? Aahh from the mouth of babes . . .
Umm… gotta remember to keep candy on hand!
ROFL… Too funny. HC is the same way almost (just don’t tell him I said this). He would see someone (like this) and immediately wants to comment without even thinking that he is still within their hearing range… LOL
Well, sometimes it’s a valid question.
