I had lunch in our restaurant with my family today. A new waitress who saw me pushing Rainny in a stroller came up and asked me,"Is it a boy or girl?"... and I was like ???...kinda surprised that she'd still ask me that question when Rainny was wearing PINK from head to toe!!! I mean,Rainny was so PINK that she was PINK all over!!!
I paused for a few seconds before I said "Mmmm...she is a girl!"
Actually, this isn't the first time it happened. There were SO many times in Taiwan that I was asked the same question when Rainny was wearing pink. Some people here even asked me if Rainny was a "boy" when she was wearing a DRESS and a HEADBAND!
The funny thing is that I remembered one time somebody asked me if boys can wear headbands like Rainny's...hahaha! I said,"Probably not! But,if you want him to grow up to be a sissy,maybe you can give it a try...haha"
Sometimes I just don't get these people. Are they color-blinded or just being completely ignorant?...hee...just joking! :p
I guess wearing pink isn't that obvious enough to tell girls apart from boys...
And people would probably still think Rainny is a boy as long as she still has short hair...ha! -__-'''

People are probably less consistent about dress in Taiwan. Don't you notice some funny looking outfits there? ;)
Don't feel bad. People STILL assume that Taisei is a girl. They don't even ask. They just say "Oh, she's so cute." I just say "uh... thanks." No smile. heheh.
That is too funny. Some people are so strange. I love that pink hat. So cute.
Ailng used to get the same reactions a lot too! I had wondered to many time just as you do now. Oh well, the good news is, it will only get better and better as their hair grow longer and look more like girls.
Rainny is so cute and beautiful! Don't know why people ask those stupid questions! My conclusion is people just don't think with their brains before they ask! There is really no other reason! >_<
We get that a lot too... even when Keane's wearing blue, people are still asking the same question. I guess blue can also be girl's color but PINK...huh...I think either some people are color blind or they just trying to make us mad.. :P
