What comes around goes around

Written by on October 27, 2009 in BLOG - 13 Comments

Whilst we were away this weekend at Port Aventura there was a particular park attendant who was very helpful, escorting us back to our hotel one night when we were lost in the park.

A discussion began later that night around a table of mojitos and strawberry daiquiris, about whether the park attendant was a she or a he. I was convinced she was a she but the others weren’t so sure, so I referred to her as ‘She-He’.

Cut to the check-in queue for my flight home on Sunday …

A woman approached me and asked if she was in the correct check-in queue. We had a brief discussion before she turned back to her husband and daughter who were standing behind me.

I then heard her daughter who was around 3 say really loudly “Mummy, is that a man?”  The woman shushed her whilst flustering about in her handbag.  I turned to show the little girl that I was in fact a she not a he and cursed my new short hair.

Now that’s what I call karma.

    Ooh You’ve had your hair cut! I shall look forward to seeing it. If you pay me a virtual visit you may learn of some happy news or you may already know of what it is I refer to!

    Excellent! Sc called the woman on the fish counter a man the other day! Before I had chance to pray for the floor to open and swallow me up I blustered “Oh don’t be silly sweetie… just cos she’s wearing a hat doesn’t mean she’s a man!” Not bad for a slow mummy! Now get on and tell the rest of the Spain stories please!!

    That’s brilliant! My daughter once announced to a man that he used to be a lady. Not sure why. All very embarrassing!

    Hilarious! Karma indeed. I have a similar debate with myself over an optician… still not entirely sure!

    Oh how I laughed loud and hearily when I heard that! Although it could be said that some of your behaviour at said park was less than ladylike, so she could have a point . . .
