sistawendy: me in my suffraget costume raising a finger in front of the Vogue (oh yeah)
We had a Halloween party at work yesterday afternoon, with at least 90% costume participation, to which people brought their children. One little girl of about seven or eight looked at me gravely and said, "You're a boy."
"I used to be," I said.
The little girl stared wide-eyed.
"Seriously. Not anymore."
The little girl wandered off, maybe to ponder that, maybe to freak out a little.

Well, that should result in an interesting conversation with her parent(s)...aren't kids just awesome? I think you handled that beautifully!

Thanks. There was probably a time when I wouldn't have handled that so well. Behold the power of experience. And of being out.
