"Who were they? Do we know them?" Alpha asked.
"We didn't but we know 'em now, don't we?"
The Ranger
Great story thanks for posting it. In 1981 the ex and I went to Lima, Peru to adopt a 6 year old boy. I cannot tell you how many times upon my return I ran into the "meathead", both male & female, when I would be out shopping with the kid. Just because I had gray hair, blue eyes & was caucasian, didn't mean that my kid was not my kid, even though he was dark brown, had black eyes & black hair!

My Sainted Mother(tm) often got the, "So where were you in the process? We see the dad written all over him but you're nowhere..."
Gotta love some strangers and their prime sage bits and pieces.

Heh.
Great Aunt Molly to Grandma: the young one, J, she sure doesn't look like her father.

That deserved "I was hiding underneath." and let them make of it what they might.
My Sainted Mother(tm) was never one to let another's learning opportunity go by. She often countered doltish thoughtlessness with, "I heard the words but I can't imagine you meant them the way they came out. Do try and think about the next so you don't look anymore foolish than you currently are."
Her 5'0", 95 lb frame was more intimidating than many larger men.

My brother used to say, "I'm sorry -- could you say that in my other ear? I can only hear edification in this one."
