Whilst we were away this weekend at Port Aventura there was a particular park attendant who was very helpful, escorting us back to our hotel one night when we were lost in the park.
A discussion began later that night around a table of mojitos and strawberry daiquiris, about whether the park attendant was a she or a he. I was convinced she was a she but the others weren’t so sure, so I referred to her as ‘She-He’.
Cut to the check-in queue for my flight home on Sunday …
A woman approached me and asked if she was in the correct check-in queue. We had a brief discussion before she turned back to her husband and daughter who were standing behind me.
I then heard her daughter who was around 3 say really loudly “Mummy, is that a man?” The woman shushed her whilst flustering about in her handbag. I turned to show the little girl that I was in fact a she not a he and cursed my new short hair.
Now that’s what I call karma.

Oh how I laughed loud and hearily when I heard that! Although it could be said that some of your behaviour at said park was less than ladylike, so she could have a point . . .

Hilarious! Karma indeed. I have a similar debate with myself over an optician… still not entirely sure!

That’s brilliant! My daughter once announced to a man that he used to be a lady. Not sure why. All very embarrassing!

Excellent! Sc called the woman on the fish counter a man the other day! Before I had chance to pray for the floor to open and swallow me up I blustered “Oh don’t be silly sweetie… just cos she’s wearing a hat doesn’t mean she’s a man!” Not bad for a slow mummy! Now get on and tell the rest of the Spain stories please!!
