SO back to work (3pm-1am) and, after school, my 7-year-old daughter invites a neighborhood galpal, age 8, over for a playdate.
Nice kids, they always include daughter #2 (age 2). After a game of Monopoly, they decided to play Dress Up.
Daughter #1 has lots of shiny Disney outfits so there's no scramble for resources when her friends visit - plus the toddler has a tinsy one.
Anyway, daughter #2 needs help getting hers on, so I ask 'should big sister or Dad help out?' I wryly comment, 'Dad has plenty of experience putting on dresses.'
Our guest says, 'Oh, I know, I've seen you in a dress many times.'
To which my oldest daughter proudly exclaims: 'Yeh - my Dad is a crossdresser !'
And the playdate goes merrily along.
Later, our guest's mother comes to retrieve her daughter. Since she came from Moscow (back when it was the USSR), I show her my little desk Lenin bust.
'Whoa! I haven't seen one of those in ages,' she says.
Which just goes to show ... something or the other. Maybe nothing, too - yaknow?
