A lot of boys and girls in the United States are wearing the same kinds of clothes, and many of them have long hair, so it is often difficult to tell whether they are boys or girls.
One day, an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington, and when he was tired, he sat down in a chair.A young person was standing on the other side of the pool.
“Oh!” the old man said to the person sitting next to him in the chair.”Do you see that person with the loose pants(宽松裤)and long hair?Is it a boy or a girl?” “A girl,” said his neighbor.”She is my daughter.”
“Oh!” the old man said quickly.”Sorry.I didn’t know that you were her mother.”
“I’m not.” said the other person “I’m her father.”
