I am typically very nice to people who ask me such rude questions or make such ridiculous remarks because I always assume that they're too ignorant to know better, but no more.....
Be forewarned world----- the next person who utters a peep of some rude or insensitive adoption remark will be laid out cold. Yes, that's right. I will put the smack down on them. Maybe I would never actually hit someone, but I am not too decent to be an utter bi@#h! Got it? Good!

Adopted Child: a natural child, with a real parent, who's all my own

Love it!!! You go girl!!
I've had the same silly questions - the latest being a couple of weeks ago when I was in the supermarket, a lady asked me a question about a product and after that conversation was finished she looked at Khye and said, so where are you from? Khye didn't realise and automatically said Thailand.
I gave no indication that he was adopted but I said his father was Thai. I would see that she wanted more info but she wasn't getting any from me!
Wyndee, I am going private again with my blog so I will send you an invite. Can you email me Wendy's email address and I will send an invite to her also.
It's funny though, since I live in SA I don't get these questions anymore, in the Netherlands I didn't either get these. But in the US there is no question not have been asked. People are more curious I guess...
Kick their asses, Wyn! Just remember this, "People are bastards, chocolate covered bastards with bastard filling." I stole that from Scrubs....love it though!
Yea, I recently lost it when someone said they were going to buy our son a massage chair and a manicure set so he could do nails with all the other "vietnamese" men. People are crazy and I am no longer being nice or polite about anything.
You know I love you even though you totally ripped off the spirit of my post from a couple of weeks ago, though I don't think mine tended toward violence. Thank God you've stopped hiding behind all that charming "dang" mid-Western stuff, because I know the REAL you and you scare the crap out of me. Let it out, girl!
Well said!!! I had someone ask me a bunch of dumb questions about Ruby at the mall one day. She actually asked me if she came with a name! I wanted to say, she's not a Cabbage Patch Doll lady! Instead, I just said yes, she has a name. It's Ruby.... and then I walked away. People are just stupid sometimes!
