Things Not to Say

I was in the waiting room for Mateo's speech therapy and the kids were playing on the floor. I noticed a lady watching us closely. Then she said...

You're kids are gorgeous. Your husband must be very handsome.

Excuse me? Did I just hear you correctly? Am I not supposed to be offended that my kids would be cute only from him?

I had half a mind to say

No he's just as ugly as I am. We don't know where the kids got their looks from.

But I didn't. I graciously explained that they were adopted. What are people thinking?

Hair Drama

Mateo's new haircut.

Mateo has hair drama. We've been having issues with hair cuts for years now. Finally after trying many a classy beauty shop, I took him down the street to the local hispanic barbershop. It was the most run-down crappiest place I've ever been. But they gave him the best damn haircut he's ever had. And he didn't cry or squirm once. It was amazing. All for 10 bucks. Wish I knew it 3 years ago.
