Excellent line, I can’t stop laughing thinking about it! You just reminded me, I used the same line with my son, around 5 years ago – back then his hair was white blonde, now it’s a bit darker. While at the airport in France waiting for our connecting flight back to the United States, a lady who sat across from us kept staring at us intently for around 10 minutes before suddenly asking ‘Is the little girl you are with Swedish?” To which i answered “No ma’am, he’s a mutt like me, and he’s my son – a boy.”
She blinked rapidly around 30 times in succession as if trying to comprehend what she had just heard. Maybe it was just me, but her tone and manner rubbed me the wrong way at that moment, so i added “you’re welcome”. To which she and another two men she was probably with got up and moved the opposite end of the boarding gate. It’s not that she mistook my son for a girl, we both always have worn our hair long and it’s not the first time someone’s made that honest mistake. And by the way I have absolutely nothing against Swedes or anyone else for that matter, I couldn’t care if you are from Alpha Centuri or Middle Earth as long as you’re not rude.

What was the ‘same thing’ that you heard Clif High say, if you don’t mind me asking? Thank you in advance.
