A childhood belief about appearance

I used to believe…

a friend brought her very young infant over to our house when i was about three. my mother asked me if i thought the child was a boy or a girl and i replied confidently, 'it's a boy.'

'that's right,' said my mother. 'how can you tell?'

'because it's wearing trousers,' i replied.
