Oh, have I been there or what. Ben looks interracial and I've had to explain it over and over again. I'm always shocked to hear people make mention of it. How rude is that?
holy shit- you gotta get out of that place. Were you at ghetto shaws or at SNS? UGH. SO sorry. There would be no similar questions here!
So happy to hear there is light at the end of that tunnel...
At least you only have one. I had twins (IVF/ICSI) and people ask me ALL the time how I conceived. Strangers!
I get so annoyed, I tell them I had sex twice in one night.
Their faces are priceless.

My daughter looks nothing like me (dark hair, eyes and skin). At the end of the school year one year, one mother asked me why I always bring her to school along with my son... (she's a twin). I got a kick out of that :-)
My best friend has this problem - she is black, her husband is white, and 2 of her three girls are very pale skinned. People always ask her if she is their nanny!
oh shit. People are effing AMAZING.
but I seriously just snorted at "I had sex twice in one night." I'm telling that to all my friends with twins who get "the question."
Aren't you glad that you're not that stupid?! I was 43 yers old when I had my biracial (b/w) daughter and I get more Grandma remarks than interracial, but anyone that asks just to be nosey needs to get embarrassed by the person being asked! Oh, and this summer I'll become the Granmda of a biracial (b/w) baby by my other daughter... LOL, bring them on!!! I just love telling people that I TRIED to have my baby! (LOL, sex lives don't have to end at 40!!!)
