Embarrassing Mistaken Identity

Nudging a stranger standing next to him
A guy said,"Look at that kid over there!"
"It's hard to tell if it's a boy or a girl,"
"With those ragged blue jeans and short hair!"

The stranger said,"Well I can tell you right now,"
"That happens to be my daughter and none other!"
He said,"Sorry sir, I didn't know you were her dad."
The stranger said,"I'm not her dad, I'm her mother!"
