Assumptions and Confusion
"My best friend is a body builder."
While not exactly 100% accurate, it is pretty close—Bill wants to be a body builder, and is working hard towards that goal, but (thankfully) isn't quite there just yet.
As I uttered those contextually relevant words Mr. Bland's eyebrows shot up it total shock. I chuckled to myself, wondering what surprised him more: that my best friend is a body builder, or his assumption that my female best friend does body building. I set his mind at least partially at ease when I continued on and used the masculine pronoun to describe said body builder. But, resurprised him when he realized that this means that my best friend is a boy.
He didn't say anything in response to that. I wonder what he was thinking.
