Not Just Politically Correct

Something that happened at a small park near our home today...

I was sitting on a bench while Urban Shaman and Il Tonino were some distance away on the grass, playing. A mail truck pulled up and stopped at one of the houses on the street. We could see someone moving inside, getting the mail.

Urban Shaman to Il Tonino: there's the mail guy!

Mail carrier gets out. Is wearing a skirt. Is obviously a female.

Urban Shaman frantically gets Il Tonino's attention and says: that's a mail carrier uhh.. person.

Me: laughing my head off at this.

Tha other day I took Max to the car dealership for a check up. I told Max that the mechanic would fix our car. He said, "The man will fix it?" I said, "The man or woman..." "no no no mommy, the man." me:"or woman, a woman can be a mechanic, too." "No, it's a MAN". Of course then I was just annoyed. It COULD be a woman, dammit! Of course, it was a man. sigh.
