As shown in\u00a0yesterday’s post<\/a>, I once had an absolutely awful haircut in the second grade.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Though, I was pretty excited to be getting<\/i> such a “grown-up” do….<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The beautiful, springing curls bouncing above my shoulders that I had envisioned turned out to be short, stiff turds with a buzz up the back.\u00a0I think my face turned pale once my new style was revealed, though I didn’t cry as I didn’t want to hurt the hair stylist’s feelings.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nI just had to live… like this…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Because of this haircut I did look a little boyish. In fact, I remember a woman once saying to my mom, “What a cute little boy you have!”<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just a boy in his leotard, here.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Gwyn was a baby, she could be wearing pink everything with a gigantic bow on her head, and every now and then I’d hear something like, “What a big\/cute\/sweet boy you’ve got there!”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And in my mind I’d be thinking, “Really!?!? Are you on crack!?” But\u00a0<\/span>I’d just smile or sometimes reply, “Yeeeeeep.”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In fact, she was wearing this exact outfit when called a boy one day…<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And this is what we thought about that!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“I’m not a boy!”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I now never say anything if I am just not sure what gender a child is. Unless it is blatantly obvious, I don’t even guess.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nThat’s probably why I have had long locks ever since!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>
\nHappy Thursday!<\/span><\/p>\n
