Trying to learn the names of 8 schoolchildren on a course today, 2nd week but I wasn't there for the first one. "What's your name?" "Ryan" "Ah, right, that will be easy to remember since you're the only boy on the course". "No, Alex is a boy". Alex, standing next to him looking mortified. Alex with the fine features and long, blonde curly hair sticking out under his helmet. Alex is Alexander, not Alexandra.
I genuinely feel really bad about it and there was nothing much I could say. A lesson learned.
