You should have apologised and explained that you weren't wearing your glasses...

...then said "so when are you due?"

I heard someone do this in a head shop once to the cashier and watched them die inside at the reply.

..and then to her husband "my apologies for the misunderstanding with your daughter"

Oh god, the awkwardness of your answer reminded me of the time me and my brother went out to eat once - I'm 8 years older than him, but we look about the same age. He also has really long hair. I'm a cis female, and he's a cis male.

A waitress comes up to us, refers to us as "ladies" - realises one of us is not a lady. She apologised, my brother laughed it off, he gets that sometimes, nbd. She then later made the same mistake again, apologised again, then says "my bad, you guys are a really cute couple!"

My brother quickly made his order because he knew I was cringing my way out of the restaurant at this point, god I really wanted to correct her but the poor girl looked so awkward and uncomfortable already.

I’ve asked “when are you due” to several pre-confirmed pregnant people. Usually they give me an answer detailing what they do for a living thinking I said “what do you do?”

It’s always good for a double awkward “wait what?” moment.
