Personal Note: They do say the darndest things

[nebroadwe]

Herewith a record of a conversation between my next-door neighbor and his (I suspect) four-year-old daughter whilst he was attempting to fix his garage door opener:

Neighbor (juggling tools): Can you get Mommy for me, sweetheart?
Daughter: Mommy is [indistinguishable].
Neighbor: What's Mommy doing?
Daughter: She's [indistinguishable].
Neighbor: She's what?
Daughter (LOUDLY AND CLEARLY): NAKED! NAKED IN THE SHOWER!

Exit nebroadwe, pretending not to have heard this. TMI.

(Daughter followed me upstairs and asked me if I would be her friend (yes), what I was carrying (bookshelf tops), and whether I was a boy or a girl (girl). Because my hair is very short (I just had it cut). She then signed off with, "Bye-bye -- I love you!" and headed back downstairs. Nice kid.)

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.

She sounds like Mindy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2g6Kcz1r9Q)

No, no, no Mindy vibe here. (And given how many times in my life I've been addressed by adults as "Sir" before they twigged, I'd say she's ahead of the game by thinking to ask the gender question ...)

I've never been asked my sex before. When I was small, I had long hair; after I turned eleven, there was never, ever any doubt.

Maybe I should have kept my long hair. [considers that for a moment] Naah. The aviator-style glasses are maybe a bridge too far, but they were the only style my insurance covered that had lenses big enough. It's hard out there for a myopic.

I had short hair for about...two years. Of course, I still had the boobs, so.

On the internet, no one can tell you have boobs. Or glasses, or short hair, or ... you know, I think I missed a trick, here. :-)

I don't encounter my downstairs neighbors all that often, but whenever I do, it's a pleasant experience. Long may it wave.
