A T-Day convo with the older generation...

A nice conversation with the women of my life about our adoption:


Step-Grandma: Too bad they can't test the mother to make sure there isn't something wrong with the baby first. My friend's daughter who adopted, that baby has all sorts of stomach problems...

Me: Oh, that's too bad, what's the problem?

SG: The baby can't stomach formula, gets really sick.

Me: Oh, does the baby has reflux? That happens sometimes, no matter what.

SG to my 60 year old mom:  Maybe you should carry the baby!

Mom: It would give me CANCER again!  ALL THE HORMONES!! Do you know how many hormones are pumped into a woman doing that?

Me: (rolling my eyes) - She's too old. You're both too old.
