So is it a boy or a girl? Ummm...see it for yourself

I was at this flat above my floor in Mumbai to collect my tiffin box which was given to them in my absence. I collected the box from the young daughter of the owner of the flat and before I was going to leave, the girl's father came and greeted me. He was carrying a baby who was nude below his waist. I could see the backside of the baby. I asked the man, "So you have two kids, one girl and the other, is it a girl?". The man turned the baby quickly, lifted him slightly above, and said, "See it for yourself if its a boy or a girl". I saw below the waist of the baby to make out that it was a boy. I found it quite amusing the way the man turned the nude baby towards me. I was of course not embarrased, but was almost going to laugh :-)
