It finally happened to me. I got a dumb adoption question.

I was at my 25th college reunion this weekend, at all-female college I attended in Central MN. Good school, but in my era, one of the majors was drinking.

At a group meal, one of these Drinking majors (who also minored in vapidness and superiority through money) asked me, “So, how does it feel to be an adoptive mom?”

I looked her straight in the eye and said, “About the same as any other mom.”

And that was the last time she said anything to me all weekend. Which was fine with me.

    That’s dumber than just about any other question I’ve heard.

    Great answer on your part. You pointed out the stupidity without saying it. You should have followed it up with “How does it feel to be an alcoholic?”

    Your answer was perfect. I’m sorry to say it was probably lost on your drunk former school mate.
