....you are sitting at the town square enjoying some yummy Milwaukee Joe's with your family and your daughter is waving to a baby and her family and blurts out to the baby's mother "Did your baby grow in your tummy?" Then, with puzzled looks lingering on the other family's faces, you have to explain that your child was adopted and that you explain this miracle to her by saying that she didn't grow in your tummy, but in another lady's tummy and then God brought her to us. The couple smile and say "That's great!" but you still have to have a talk with your child all the way home about how most children do grow in their mommy's tummies, so let's not ask that question especially to perfect strangers.
My mom, who witnessed the whole thing said, "I never once experienced anything like that when you kids were little". She's right, but we do experience them almost on a daily basis in some form. I find these things hilarious and another excuse to marvel at the Joy and miracle that God has gifted us with in our little girl.
