Please Explain

Can someone please explain how my daughter can look like this and be mistaken for a boy?
One would think that the flowers on the pants, plus the doll she was holding, would make it apparent to anyone who looks at her that she is not a boy, but very much a girl. While, we were out shopping today 3 different women either asked me, "Oh, is it a girl or a boy?" or said, "What a cute boy." I just don't get it.

People are stupid, that's what I came to realize. People did that to me when Hannah or Abby had bows in their hair or a dress on. I don't get it either. You just have to look at who just asked the question and realize that they just might be a little slow.

Hilarious! As I finished reading this post in my Google Reader, I said out loud, "People are stupid." Then I came to your blog and saw that Sierra beat me to it. So. . . there's your answer. :)

Once I had London dressed in pink, with a bow in her hair and a lady at a MOMS club meeting asked if she was a boy. She was a mom of a small child herself! Some people are just dumb. Bailey doesn't look like a boy!

I had the same thing happen with Collin. He was decked out in a blue sports outfit with a cute, little baseball cap on and someone said he was a beautiful girl.

I think for the whole is it a boy or girl thing, That people are playing it safe not to offend the parents. I do it all the time because I said once, "what a cute girl!" It was wearing pink! yea it was a boy, and the woman had two girls before and was trying to reuse some of the things. To the whole what is a cute boy, no way she is a very cute girl and no doubt about it!

Megan, remember our trip to Europe? The men in capris and the one pair of white ones with orange flowers down the side. Interesting look but they were guys. Mom
