Sassy comebacks 1/27/2005
This guy is a hoot. I hope I can be even as tenth as witty when I have to deal with stupid comments people will undoubtedly make about choosing to adopt.
A sampling:
- Q. “Where’s their real father?”
A. “My God! Have I gone invisible again? Sorry, I try not to let that happen in public.”
Here is a good one that never gets old. Consider a 3 year old living in NW Alabama who was adopted as basically a non-verbal 14 month old… Q. - “Does she have an accent?” A. - Yes, her southern drawl is as bad as mine!!! Q. - “Do you know anything about her REAL parents?” A. - Dumbfounded shaking of the head…. no I don’t
Bottom line, - People can be wonderful and stupid in the same conversation, but generally they mean well…
