Mrs. Morrissey

In McCarren Park Baby Pool

• Little boy: Is that a boy or a girl?
• Me: She's a girl.
• Little boy: It's hard to tell.
• Me: What do you mean?
• Little boy: She has boy hair. It's the way you cut it.
• Me: Actually, she has a remarkable amount of hair for her age. Most babies don't have this much hair. She's really lucky.
• Little boy: Well, it's not girl hair. [swims away]
• Me: She's so obviously a girl! Look at her bathing suit!
• Husband: Don't listen to him. He's an idiot. He doesn't know anything.
