My Daughter Zuul is a Pretty Little Boy

  My daughter Zuul is a pretty little boy. 



 I know this to be true because every time I take her out in public, complete strangers walk up and tell me so.  Now, I am not faulting complete strangers for not knowing that my infant child is not a girl.  She is not dressed in pink bows and lace after all.  However, what this does is create a super ackward moment for me where  I must either tell them she is a girl and go through the embarrasing ritual of them apologizing and backtracking, or I can let it slide and hope that the conversation doesn't progress to "What's his name?" In which case we are back to the whole embarrassing backtracking and apologizing. 

I know that this could all be corrected if I just took her out of the house in gender identifying colors more often.  However, I am not a huge fan of pink.  I  put her in a whole pink outfit one time when we were just sitting around the house and I just couldn't bring myself to do that to my child again.

I think the sheer look of terror on her face says it all.  How could I do this to my sweet little baby girl?  So, I guess I will have to keep walking the fine line between embarassing people and embarrasing myself and come to peace with the fact that my daughter zuul is a pretty little boy.
