So I'm at the supermarket with Zoe today. Zoe is sitting in the cart facing me when a woman approaches us and strikes up this uncomfortable conversation:
Shopper: "How old is your daughter?"
Me: "Almost 12 months." As Zoe turned around, the woman looked startled.
Shopper: "Oh, I didn't realize you were babysitting, sorry."
Me: "No, she's mine."
Shopper: "Oh, that must be a really interesting way way to do things, I hear a lot of people are doing that." (I'm assuming by "that"she means adoption.)
Then she leans in for the grand finale and says: "I bet it's probably a lot easier than having them the other way."

Seriously, how do these people FIND you??!! Maybe you have to switch of some freak magnet that you carry on your person...LOL At least she didn't ask you if it was hard to learn how to cook Chinese for her ;P
If she only knew!!!
How can some people be so ignorant? I think my answer to her would have been: "I bet it's easier than getting my fist out of your mouth." I would have also asked her if she would like the agency's name so she could adopt a brain.
You gotta love it!!
People can be so ignorant! It's amazing what comes out of some peoples' mouths. We used to hear many an oddity when the triplets were babies! Apparently, people know no longer filters between their brains and their mouths.
