I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Quote of the Day
You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. ~ Charles Austin Beard (1874 - 1948)

are they siblings?
If one more person asks me, in front of my children, "are they siblings?" my head is going to explode. I always arrange my face into an appearance of confusion and reply in a confiding sort of voice, "Of course, aren't yours?"
So sorry peoples' comments are so rude. I'm sure they just want to know why your children look so... related. I have cousins adopted from the same family. I didn't know for years since they looked so much like family- which, duh, they are. If it makes you feel any better biological parents face tons of stupid questions and comments as well.

AUGH! I HATE that one! I try to be gracious in my response, but most days I just want to smack them upside the head!
Gah. People are so freaking rude.

I wouldn't mind SO much if they didn't ask it in front of my kids. What are my kids going to make of it?
I love your response though. Honestly, I hope by the time our daughter arrives I'll be able to be half as gracious as you.
I had a comment here before...
