She was 4 years old, so I'm not blaming her (and she was quite sweet). I do think her mother might have put a stop to it though.
In the course of 5 minutes she asked :
"why is your hair down like that ?" - some of my hair is in my eye because I left the house while it was still wet.
"Your hair is short like a boy" Ah, but I'm wearing purple trousers, those are girls trousers.And I have jewellery on.
"I have a ring like that, but mine has a matching tiara". I didn't argue
even though my ring was hand made by a jeweller for me, and hers must surely be plastic.
"Why are you wearing those shoes" - I'm wearing sandals in October because I twisted my ankle and it was swollen.
"Those aren't girls shoes". They're not
I think because the little strappy sandals are blue, they're still not men's shoes.
"You're fat" yes, and you're rude. (I did say that to her, though nicely, I figured while we were swapping faults I might as well).
"What's that on your arm". A mosquito bite.
"Did it bite you because you're fat ?". No, it would be just as happy to bite you.
"What's that on your neck" The mole ? It's a mole....
Thankfully they left shortly after that, because another 5 minutes and I would have started to wear a bag over my head.

Sure does wonders for the 'ol self-esteem 
Another time my glasses were rubbing my face and causing a mole on my cheek to become very sore. I was sporting a cute little bandaid to stop the chafing and a 5 year-old boy asked me why I had a bandaid on my face. His grandma shushed him and whispered loudly, "it's because she has a zit, okay" 
I explained the real reason through a fake laugh and gritted teeth. Geez, get a clue.
