The Best Thing Happened at Work

So I was running the self checkouts at the store I work at and a family was having trouble with their coupons. I went over to help and the older of the two kids, he's about four or five, was in my way. I said something like "Watch out buddy" and he moved over. His grandmother was at the machine and she said "Watch out honey the lady needs to get in here to help us." I log into the machine and start helping them and I hear this from behind me. "That's not a lady" I lost it. I was doubled over on the machine trying to regain my composure. Apparently the kid wasn't used to girls wearing glasses so he assumed it was a boy thing. My short hair probably doesn't help. I honestly have no issue when little kids say stuff like that, they don't know any better and honestly it's adorable. If you're going to have short hair you need to have a pretty high level of tolerance for this kind of stuff. 

And for all y'all who don't know me this is what I look like. I don't blame the kid in all honesty
