Before I had a kid, I never was really interested in holding other peoples babies. I didn't not like them, follow that double negative, but they just were not my thing. I preferred people who could talk, so when I would tell people congrats, and would say "O what a cute girl" and then be corrected that it was a boy. I never thought it was easy to determine, what a little baby was, especially if they were not in a dress or some clothing that gave it away.
But now, I am getting pay back, it seems to happen that everyone thinks my little girl is a boy, and I am like can't you see it is a girl. The ones that get me, are the people who see her in a pink dress, and ask what is his name. I just laugh and say Hope. I don't even correct people anymore. It really has became a inside joke with me and my wife.
