I got in trouble at school aged 8 for trying to get into lunch with the girls ( the girls went in first) and not queueing up with the rest of the boys..... I am and always have been female....

Also, at same school, and at around the same age, I had to correct a teacher who, when making a harvest festival wall display of fruit trees, proceeded to stick the pears on the trees upside down (bulbous part on top)

That reminds me of my first day at Senior School. We all had to stand up when our fomr teacher saidf our name, so she could start putting names to faces.
Teacher - Sonia Fernandez*
I stand up
Teacher - Oh you must be Peter's little sister.
Me - Err no, I don't have an older brother.
Teacher - Oh I assumed because of the surname...
Me - It's just a co-incidence.

I then found out that this Peter was Peter Fernandes. And my name had been spelt correctly with the Z on the register.

You would have thought that if we were brother and sister our surnames would be spelt the same.

*not my real surname, but similar in that it is Hispanic and can be spelt with an s or a z.
