I was at the hairdresser's the other day, and I like to think I am right on in terms of valuing difference and diversity, and I made some innocent comment to my two young women hairdressers about an older woman at work having problems in her marriage to a Turkish man, (who's desperate to leave his country, which is why he married her, but she is blind to it, despite the fact that someone else has seen him with other women...), - One was helping the other with my full head of highlights (first ever!) to hide the grey, and I found out that Suzanne's grandmother came from India, and Aisha's father is in fact also Turkish... <br /><br />I was horrified at making such a mistake, but we do make wrong assumptions, but they don't always come from a 'bad place...' Does that make sense, Diane, for I rarely do these days?!<br /><br />Ryan is so your daughter, with her lovely looks tho'! xoxA Woman Of No Importancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194976046531063422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-81248244510099437752009-07-06T21:34:48.647-04:002009-07-06T21:34:48.647-04:00I think I still have the e-mail I sent you after t...I think I still have the e-mail I sent you after that incident at the grocery store if you need to see it again.Melanie Gillispiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325977196312705838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-14301780383665536982009-07-06T10:33:55.095-04:002009-07-06T10:33:55.095-04:00So... if this was Sherri's blog, she'd hav...So... if this was Sherri's blog, she'd have to be in the naughty chair now, right? <br /><br />I'm glad you had a great weekend, my friend. That's awesome. <br /><br />As for your lovely, brownish daughter? She's gorgeous and all photo evidence suggests that she looks like you except for the skin and hair color.

I'm a pro at that! <br /><br />And I can't help but giggle at the comment, "Where'd you get her?" I know it's not funny, but the sheer stupidity of the woman makes me laugh a little. You should've said, "Oh, I just picked her up at WalMart. Yeah, brown babies are on sell this week." Moron.<br /><br />Don't let em bring ya down. Ryan is beautiful and so are you. It should be obvious that you're her mother. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783379570693055648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-68010412953493008342009-07-06T08:00:22.635-04:002009-07-06T08:00:22.635-04:00"if I wear a baseball cap, it eliminates the ..."if I wear a baseball cap, it eliminates the need for little windshield wipers for my glasses"<br /><br />My gosh.

I think...Your hair color probably threw them! ;)!<br /><br /><br />I think I've told you this before, but our first two boys are of a smaller frame like their Dad Big Al (Don't ask why I call him "Big" Al...well, now you've probably figured it out-but that's okay).<br />Youngest has always been very large for his age while growing up, and is of a larger frame-with a gorgeous bod-I might add!. He excelled in all sports, and anyone at the sporting events who didn't know us would always make comments like, "WHO does HE take after?" Big AL always felt like they were implying that HE wasn't the father, nor could he be the father of this fine speciman of a man in the making.<br />It would also happen when we would take him out and someone would ask, "How old is your son?" "He's just two." (He looked all of five and the people would stare at me- I weighed about a buck o5 at the time, and Big AL was about 140.) Then they'd look at Big Al, then back at me and I felt like they were thinking I had been cheatin'!<br /><br />So I know somewhat what you mean. I don't think people mean to be rude- they're just nosy! And not real bright!sherrihttp://matteroffactsite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-4510638495046351992009-07-05T15:42:34.808-04:002009-07-05T15:42:34.808-04:00well..at least Ryan is not the one pretending shes...well..at least Ryan is not the one pretending shes adopted!!:) mine would probably try that!! good for you for the singles group!(social grouP) that sounds like a lot of fun!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680221201312100448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-57216636134563290182009-07-05T14:30:15.950-04:002009-07-05T14:30:15.950-04:00Perhaps she thought you looked too young to have a...Perhaps she thought you looked too young to have a daughter that age????<br /><br />I'm trying here. . .Liz Wilkey (a.k.a.
