Gender issues

We've been out and about a couple of times in the last two days, which has knocked the stuffing out of both of us. Many people have commented on our baby, and when they hear he's a boy, they all talk about what a good-looking or handsome child he is.

I'm thinking of introducing him to strangers as a girl now and again, just to see what they say.

Once I'm bored with that, I may start saying he's a hermaphrodite.

ROFL It doesn't work. My son was the prettiest baby ever born I suspect. Unfortunately, his father had been adamant we should name him Robyn so even those who were careful and asked the baby's name first told me how "beautiful" he was. Every time. Even when I put him in a shirt and tie, and kept his hair cut well above the ears.
And my first born girl was a Kristina... better known in family as Kricket. IN spite of the very feminine name, her crew cut length hair at birth led everyone to tell us how handsome "he" was for months. Even when she was wearing a pink dress.
