This really isn't sucky, more like irritating. I'm extremely short for my age, 4'7" so I get a lot of clerks coming up to me and asking me if I'm lost whenever I go shopping by myself. Also, my hair is cut really short, so when clerks realize I'm just a dwarf, they'll go, "Oh, I'm so sorry. It'll never happen again, sir." Oh, and by the way, my voice is high-pitched, my favorite color to wear is pink, I have a pink purse with me, and I'm wearing high-heeled sandals. So, how is it you mistake me for a boy, again?
One time, my family and I were eating out at Chili's. The waitress gives my parents and my younger sister adult menus. She gives me a kid's menu, crayons and all. My dad is laughing his head off. I ask the waitress for an adult's menu and all is right with the world for a few minutes. Then we order our drinks. My parents get their iced tea in a glass, my sister gets her soda in a glass, and I get my water in a kid's cup. My sister finds it hilarious, especially since she's 2 years and 10 months younger than me. The waitress is confused as to why my sister has decided to imitate a laughing hyena until I tell her my age. Her face turns red and she goes, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll get you a glass, sir." Granted, I was wearing a hoodie at the time (hood down) but for god's sake, the hoodie was pink and my voice ought to have been another dead giveaway. My sister has fallen out of her chair by this point and looks like she's going to die laughing while I tell the waitress I'm a girl. She looks really embarressed (sp?) by now and apologizes again. The rest of the meal is spent with my whole family teasing me while I tried to eat my beanless chili (no cheese or onions) in peace.
Sorry if I'm sounding like a crab but, it's just getting old and I'm getting tired of it. A lot of times I just laugh along with everyone, but other times (especially with customers) my patience gets thin. And don't even get me started with amusement park rides.

Maybe you should get a button that says "It's a Girl!"
