That question bothers me sooooo much. Of course they are sisters, they are both my daughters. And that is usually how I respond.

AMEN Mary!!!! I HATE this question!!! My DH is in the hospital so we spent Thanksgiving eating catered turkey with the little kids in his room.... Three nurses came in to see the kids... OK that's nice... ALL three of them asked this question! All three after being told that our 4yr. old daughters are two weeks apart in age????? seriously folks get a brain! I have to give My Honey credit, he stood his ground and didn't offer anymore information than a very loving "Yes, they are brother and sisters, they are all our children" and when the expected "well you know what I mean came" he again said "Yes I know what you mean" and we dropped it... I think they were all embarassed..... Good!

However we do ALWAYS get the same comment every time there is a family dinner some dork askes the same thing! " Oh I suppose your kids DO like spicey food" WHAT???? I tell them the same thing EVERY TIME, Yes I like to cook with many spices. They like salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, cinnamon..... ya think they'd learn???
