[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I are similar to what you described, although my DH is SouthEast Asian, and we have a son. A few people have asked me if our son is adopted when we are by ourselves. Once, my son turned and said "That is MY MOMMY! huh" (arms crossed, angry expression) After that I didn't worry about him. When people ask an awkward question like is he mine, I say..."oh my husband is so beautifully dark and I was so hoping my child would also have lovely dark skin like that, I was even asking in the delivery room!" Some little story that sort of says YES, he's mine and haha, I'm letting you off the hook here but then I change the subject quickly. I would teach her to say, "Why would you ask? Oh, maybe you've never seen my daddy...we look just alike. Which parent do you get your [blonde hair/blue eyes/inquisitive nature] from??"[/quote]
