Speechless

Have you ever had a moment where something someone says leaves you completely speechless?

I have. But today was not one of those days.

Little Dude & I went up to see Grammy & Grampa since I had a photo print order to deliver in their area. Grammy, Little Dude and I went to lunch at a small cafe. While we were there, one of the workers came to comment on how cute Little Dude was. He did look very cute. He was wearing a "Mr. Cool" shirt, blue & red checkered shorts, and the outfit was completed with a blue bib to catch all the food runoff.

So why, oh why, did this lady come up and tell me what a cute little princess I had? Princess. PRINCESS!!! Little Dude doesn't look like a girl, but even if he did, wouldn't the outfit & all that blue be a giveaway??

I politely smiled and eagerly waited for her to walk away so I could express how weird it was that she didn't notice he is obviously a boy. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why she thought he was a princess. The only thing I could think of was that his hair was getting a little long on top. It wasn't really that long though.

But just to be safe, I gave him a haircut tonight. No more princess comments. He may be a cute little guy, but he is definitely not a princess. If this happens again, I think he will be sporting a mohawk. ;)

  1. How old was the waitress? I've noticed older ladies seem to have failing vision, as those are the only times we've had girl comments about our little guy! Craziness, especially wearing a Mr Cool shirt....hello, MR = Man! He looks ALL boy to me:)
