Author’s note: Last night I kind of put this post on my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/susiej7k#!/notyouraveragemomdotcom). It happened so quickly, and I was so tired, I wanted to write it down before I forgot it this morning. So today I’m sort of re-posting it in my blog, making a couple corrections made due to exhaustion, and adding in one little zinger that I forgot to include…
But first, just a little background info…
Number 3’s best friend was adopted, and his family welcomed a new sister who was also adopted a few months ago. So Number 3 is a little bit obsessed and confused (and possiby concerned) about being adopted.
In addition, we watched the first hour of Secondhand Lions last night. If you haven’t seen it, it’s the story of a shy, young boy who is basically abandoned by his really crappy mother and dumped at his cuckoo uncles’ house for the summer.
So those two factors led up to this heartwarming bedtime conversation in which I participated last night:
Number 3: Number 4, you were adopted.
Number 4: No I wasn’t.
Number 3: Yes you were.
Number 4: Mom, was I adopted?
Me: No.
Number 3: Yes you were. I don’t know how you’re still even in this family.
Me: I don’t know how your teeth are still in your head. Go brush your teeth.
Number 3: Mom, I wish you were raising a different family.
Me: Me too.
Number 3: Mom, you should be adopted for not being skinny enough. You should be adopted for having too much blubber.
Yeah, this parenting stuff is really fun.

This is a hilarious post! My sister told me that I was adopted…even though I wasn’t. I’ve always remembered her telling me though. 🙂 You have a cute family.
