What an experience.
Mine is being mistaken for a girl while i was younger.
Yes, I was mistaken for a girl once.
My father’s office held an annual day for kids on Independence Day in which children of the office employees were invited to participate in various activities like essay and poem writing, drawing/sketching, painting, and many more. It was indeed a proud moment for my family and me when I was declared the second-prize winner in the under-10 years drawing category.Thanks for the post @meesterboom. Very funny indeed. He should have followed you in there. Haha.

To our immense pride, the company invited all employees with family for a separate award function. I was eagerly waiting for my turn to come, where I expected to proudly walk up to the stage while hundreds of people would clap for me. Imagine my reaction when the host said, “And the second prize for the Under-10 Drawing Competition goes to Miss.......
I was dumbfounded. When the host spotted me slowly walking towards the stage in embarrassment, he said, “Oh sorry… turns out, it’s Master......... ” I never shared this story with my friends in school lest I be the butt of all jokes, and thankfully, few of my father’s colleagues’ kids attended my school.
Now, it’s a laughable incident. But as a 9-year old, it was easily one of the most “Kill Me Now!” moments in my life. Nice one @adsactly
