Not Always What it Seems

You really can't tell by looking at someone.

Our 2 boys are both 1/2 hispanic. The oldest doesn't look hispanic. The youngest has olive skin. He looks asian a bit in the eyes I guess. I think mostly because he is still so young.

Anyway ...

I was picking them up from daycare and another mother commented "oh their father must be asian." I said no. She then asked if they were adopted and I said yes. But, neither of them are asian. I think she was a bit stumped. But, I left it at that as I was on my way out and she was on her way in.

She apparently assumed we adopted the little one internationally.

I wasn't offended at all.
