I usually downplay it, since my oldest is 5 1/2, and kind of pretend I don't know the meaning behind it. I usually say, "I know. We are soo lucky to have EACH OTHER." I want it to be clear that I did my kids no favors by adopting them, without Dennis picking up on the negativity. People take the hint. Usually they meant well with it anyway-it just gets under my skin, too.
