Poor kid

I took Kayla to the supermarket today and whilst at the checkout I could hear the middle aged couple in front of me discussing whether or not she's a boy or a girl. I didn't hear every word, but at one point the woman said to the man "ooohhh that's mean".. which I gather wasn't a compliment. As they finished paying and I pulled in with my trolley they both stood there for a second waiting for her to turn around and then I could see the woman shrug her shoulders and utter something about still not being sure. I just called out "She's a girl!".

Then the middle aged checkout operator told me I should get her ears pierced because "she's only young and won't feel it". And that boys wear red which is why it was hard to tell she's a girl (it's orange, not red dumbass!)

I wasn't too upset about all this or anything. Just made me feel like the place was full of idiots today haha

Here is a photo of Kayla and what she was wearing today. I didn't choose the outfit, her nana bought it for her (I probably wouldn't buy orange personally), but it's a change from pink

Poor kid..I'm sure she'll grow hair one day!

Yep you are right the place was full of idiots! To me it would be obvious that Kayla was a girl, but more importantly if I was not sure the last thing I would do is discuss it!

My DD has been dressed in pink covered in a pink blanket and still someone said "he is so cute" and DD has hair! There are many many idiots out there thats for sure.

Oh and BTW she is totally GORGEOUS! I love the facials in the 1st pic.

She is beautiful! Definately looks like a girl, even without a flowery top.

Anyway, why on earth do other people need to know if she is a girl or boy, how is it relevant to them.

And did the operater say that to you out of nowhere? If so, I would make a complaint.

I don't understand why they would think she is a girl! She is far too pretty

Are they blind? all they need to do is look at her and you can tell she is a gorgeous girl!

don't worry, her hair will grow but those people will still be stupid

When Amy was small, we were in a lift one day and some random guy looked into the push chair and said - "what a cute baby, is it a boy or a girl" - hhmmm, the PINK blanket, PINK hat and PINK jacket don't give you a hint

Its got flowers on it! I am sure we get a lot of the same comments about Maddi (and Keira too back in the day) and I know I dont help it by hardly ever dressing her in pink.
I used to try dressing Keira in pink frilly dresses and we would still get strangers coming up saying "isn't he a sweet little man". I gave up after that, some people are just too... dumb!

Its the hair, girls are supposed to have long hair and boys short.

ETA. She is just gorgeous, and such a girl!

Gosh this thread moved fast!

This made me giggle!!!! Kayla looks like a girl to me. We get this all the time too - how old is he .... I always go SHE IS ... argh - and most times she is wearing girly colours - if I knew how to add a photo I would!

Looks like a beautiful little girl to me.

People keep asking if henry is a boy. Because we havent cut his hair yet and its curly.
Kellie - we have also had the comment 'oh hes too pretty to be a boy' what a stupid think to say when ive just said he's a boy. duh
There are a lot of idiots out there
