Today, I mistook a little girl for a boy. Unfortunately, I only realised my mistake until after I'd cut her hair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, despite having long hair and wearing makeup and a dress, I was still mistaken for a man several times. I'm a girl and I was born a girl. FML
Today, I was mistaken for my twin brother twice. This probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a girl. FML
Today, a little girl came up to me and asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" I said, "I'm a girl of course!" She walked away, looking dazed and saying, "Whoa." FML
Today, I decided to go get my hair cut because it was getting a bit long. I told the lady that I wanted it way short and she replied "Why? You will look like a guy sweetie." I am a guy. FML
Today, I was working at my job as a cashier, checking out an elderly woman's groceries. She was very nice, and we chatted for a couple minutes. Once she had paid, she leaned close to me and said, very politely, "I'm so so sorry that I mistook you for a girl at first, young man." I AM a girl. FML
Today, after cutting my hair and shaving, I had girls hitting on me for the first time ever! Too bad they thought I was a butch lesbian, not a man. FML
Today, at work, I bumped into what looked like a small child and said, "Sorry, little man". Turns out he actually was a little person. FML
Today, my 4-year-old son cut half of my hair when I was asleep because he thought I would look better that way. FML
Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML
Today, I picked up my daughter from daycare. As we were getting into the car, I strapped her into the car seat, but something felt off. I looked back and realized I had picked up the wrong kid. In my defense, she was wearing the same jacket as my daughter. FML

Did her mother specify how she wanted her hair cut or did she just say go wild and do whatever you think is best? Usually parents say something that will give some type of hint as to what their child's gender is...

Now everyone will mistake her for a little boy for the next few months. You were just ahead of the curve!

Parents didn't say anything? Shave the head clean and say that's a big trend right now. Really can't complain if they didn't give any instructions on what they wanted :p

Why wouldn't you ask the parents what haircut they want, before you start?

Did you and the parent or even the child not discuss the cut and style before you cut her hair? I find this one very hard to believe.

Did the parent's not tell you how they wanted it cut?

Most importantly, does the child look good with this short haircut?

Some girls look cute with a pixie cut. Not all girls, mind you. Kris Jenner looks like she knew about Caitlyn all along.
