1. “So who are your REAL parents?”
You know those two people who live in my house, you’ve had pizza with them…right yeah no they’re not holograms.
2. “You’re so lucky, some people don’t get adopted”
yep. you too?
3. “I bet you have abandonment issues, right?”
Maybe or you know maybe not. Either way, if I’m not bringing it up I’d rather not discuss it with you now. or ever.
4. “My brother is so weird, he must be adopted! Oh god I’m sorry um it’s a great thing. You’re lucky!”
Don’t worry you’re not the first bonehead to use adoption as a punchline.
It must be nice to not have much critical thinking going on, real quiet in there huh. How relaxing.
5. “So where are you from? Like really from?”
Jupiter.
