And u didn't get her number?

You did the right thing. Your daughter's six, right? She's entering what some call the 'gender police' stage. She's absorbed enough culturally discriminative values in order so that she can divide what is essentially female from what she considers essentially male. Built women and men with long hair, beware...

lol what a sticky situation.It makes me wonder,If a woman works so very hard to make herself look masculine would being mistaken for a guy be a compliment?

Don't sweat it, kids are totally honest and open. I wear a fanny pack and some little girl was pointing to it in the store... she said "My Grandma has one of those", I thought she was talking about my cell phone hanging from my fanny pack, but she was talking about the fanny pack. I don't mind being compared to a little girls grandma. I told her, "your grandma is a smart lady, keeps pressure off her shoulder and her hands free". It's very possible that the amount of muscle on this female made your daughter confused, only natural for her to ask you. Do you think your daughter would like her to be a new mommy?

...and this is the just the beginning of the words that come out of the mouth of innocence ....be prepared to apologize over and over and over again !!!!

Lol...How did you keep from laughing? Kids are so sweet and innocent at that age. (I miss it--mine son is 18!) Just tell her that that lady likes to workout too, just like daddy, that's why she also has muscles. That *might* work!

Out of the mouths of babes... I would've just explained that she was a very strong lady, so her muscles show... it was an innocent question, so it wasn't mean, and you don't want to discourage your daughter from asking when she doesn't know.

Your statement, to your daughter, is almost the equivalent of a father saying this to his daughter. "see that policeman? he will take you to jail, if you are not a good girl". This statement gives children the impression that the police are the bad guys and some children shy away, from the police, for their lifetime. this is not good. i correct parents, when they make this statement. The same applies with the athletic woman. she is not a threat, but telling your daughter that is not nice, is not the correct response. you should explain that this is a woman that choses to lift weights. Children trust and believe the examples their parents give to them. Could you have made a better statement?
-
Well, it's totally normal, as everyone else and their mom has said, lol, for kids to get confused. I have two boys, and they are always asking me strange questions like that. This too shall pass. (Not until she's AT LEAST 18 though...so get used to it :) )

Hey, kids call it as they see it. I wouldn't say it's not nice, I would just tell them that if they are going to ask questions about people, they should do it quietly! When my son was 3, we were in line at the grocery store and a huge lady in front of us was eating a donut while she was waiting. My son said, in a very loud voice "that lady shouldn't be eating that donut - doesn't she know that's how she got so fat in the first place?" I about died! Now that was not polite.
