My parents took me to Pizza Delight last night for supper, and while we were waiting to be seated a mother and her child walked by to use the bread bar.
The mother was white and the child was black.
Immediately, my mother turns to me and comments on how "trendy it is nowadays to adopt children from places like China, Ethiopia," etc. etc. She actually said Ethiopia like 10 times for some reason.
As we're walking to our table, I see the mother and child again, sitting at their table.
Once we're seated, I turn to my mother and tell her the baby wasn't adopted from Ethiopia, that it's her child. My mother doesn't understand.
The woman's husband was black.
INTER-RACIAL MARRIAGE, OMG.

My mom gets that every time we eat together. But they'd be right. I'm adopted
