"No, you...Dina, My first response was to say,<br /> "No, you see, if you must know, my husband and I had an affair and next thing you know...Here she was!" <br />Trust me for 'bumpkins' it will leave them thinking for a long time! After she takes your order, you can explain to your child that it was just a story to tell nosey people. That you really did adopt her because you loved her! If the waitress says anything later, you can simply say, <br />"Under the circumstances, I'd rather not discuss it." <br />This isn't original with me - back in the 50's when I was growing up, my best friend was adopted and her parents used this story all the time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857910944796918786.post-4512967635771372402011-06-18T15:30:33.231-05:002011-06-18T15:30:33.231-05:00Thank you guys.

Due to a rare prenatal complication, one is much bigger than the other. (As babies, one was about twice the size of the other.) Strangers would ask (in front of them) if they were twins. When I said yes, they would say that they couldn't be because one was so much taller. (Really?!) It really hurt my smaller son's feelings and left a lasting impression on him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857910944796918786.post-59859785901135802182011-06-16T17:31:29.636-05:002011-06-16T17:31:29.636-05:00I think you held your composure really well.
