My husband was told by an intoxicated fellow at a race track where we had the kids (5 kids ages 4 and under) who were busy watching the school bus races, "well, we know you're not shooting blanks." To which my husband replied,"we're a foster family." to which my husband thought the guy responded with " well, I condemn you even more!" and after my husband told me and I had a chance to think about it , I said ,"I think what the guy said to you or was trying to say was I commend you even more."
My husband was all mad thinking the guy was insulting him and I said , " I think the guy was trying to give you a compliment about being quite a man whether you were the one who fathered the whole brood or were caring for them because of your big heart." Either way, I told my husband , "I don't think it was meant as an insult."
People say and misinterpret what is said all the time.
Too funny on that one though.
I have been asked if they are mine and I respond with 'right now they are!'
When asked if my bchild and fs are twins , I respond 'no, they are 7 months apart' and that always gives people something to think about !
