Oh, He's a Boy? My Bad.

If you don’t want me to mistake your son for a girl it might be a good idea to not have his hair in pig tail braids. We were celebrating Halloween at my store and I was handing out the candy to all the kids in their costumes. All of a sudden, a huge rush of little kids come up to me and I start handing the candy out. Everyone was going crazy and I had missed one kid. I called “sweetie, you forgot your candy!” Then I saw the child’s mom and was like, “she didn’t get any candy.” The mom was like “oh, well he’s a boy, he just has long hair.” Oh, he's a boy? My bad. I don’t mind if you are a boy and have long hair, but is it really necessary to put your hair in braided pigtails? You are just asking for confusion. The boy is going to look back at pictures of when he was young and ask, “why do I look like a girl mommy?” The poor boy, I know how it feels.
