the recognition factor

The other day over lunch I walked into a place and the young man said "Bonjour Madame...er monsieur". He had apologized profusely because I was not presenting female in the least. I laughed and looked at him and said "you can address me in any way you want". 


I don't know how Joanna does it.  One post per day, and they're all worth taking the time to read.  This time, it's all about being (or not being) recognized in public.
