I'm unlocking my bike at the Harris Teeter when a dad pulls up with his daughter on the back of his bike. While he's locking up she runs around the bike rack, singing to herself and pushing bikes over. She is standing probably a foot away from me when she asks her dad, "Is that a boy or a girl?" He replies, "Why don't you ask her?" She never directly addresses me and I stay silent. "Is it a boy or a girl?" she asks again. He repeats his first answer again. Finally, as I'm getting on my bike to ride away (she still hasn't addressed me directly) he says to her "She's a girl."
