This evening I was walking my dogs outside and a little kid was out with his mom. He was about eight years old I'd guess. The kid came up and asked me if he could pet my dog and I said sure, then as he's petting the Corgi he looks up at me and asks:

"Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Because you look li..." Just then his mother cuts him off "Atreyu!!" and pulls his arm. "You don't ask people tha..." and I didn't hear the rest as she pulled him down the sidewalk.

I didn't really have time to give any answer as his completely mortified mom pulled him away. But I just laughed and called out to the mom that it was okay, the look on her face seemed thankful and apologetic. Mainly mortified though. But as an enby who feels euphoria from androgyny, that made my night.

Thanks for the unintended compliment little dude lol

I just wanted to share this funny euphoric moment.

Yeah, I'm normally bad at remembering names but his stuck out because it was one I don't hear often. I also love Never Ending Story, so that was another bonus for me lol
