Funny Story

Tonight was basketball practice. I had all 4 children with me. I was speaking with the main person in charge of the league/age group in which Judson plays. He asked me if I was a foster parent or if I adopted. I told him that my husband and I had adopted some and birthed some (or something to that effect). The next question out of his mouth was, "Which ones are yours". Now this guy is YOUNG. REAL YOUNG. I have no clue if he's in college, just out of college but YOUNG. So, I chuckle and say, "Why, they are ALL mine". He did acknowledge is error by saying, "OK, really poor wording on my part". His next sentence cracked me up. He says, "Which ones did you adopt". Now, I Know it was a legit question but it just cracked me up. I think I had a smart remark but I didn't mean it to sound as bad as my sharp tongue quiped. I said, "I'll give you hint, my husband is Caucasian". Now, we could have adopted the two Caucasian children too but it just struck me as funny somehow. Of course, upon later thought, I did think I should have said it differently. I was not mad at all as I love talking to anyone about my kids. I was just a bit too sarcastic I think. Go figure, ME, sarcastic. (I promise to do better next time)
