If One More Person...
...comes up to me in public, looks at my child, looks at me and utters a variation of, "Oh! Does your husband have blonde hair?" or "Oh! Is your husband really fair-skinned?", I swear to God I'm gonna snatch the hair right offa that person's head and ask, "Oh! Is your daddy a bald asshole?"
Either that or I'm going to tell them that she has that Michael Jackson disease.
Yeah, get me. I'm all swarthy and shit.

that's the oddest thing i've heard. i think you should whip up a punnet square and show them the genetics, but them i was a zoology major, so that probably only makes since to me. she is one cute little towheaded kid, though.

Actually, my father *is* a bald[ing] asshole. Does that mean I get a free pass?

Tell 'em you're not sure what the folks you stole her from looked like. That'll shut them up.

People are idiots and a-holes. They need to think a milisecond before opening their pieholes. Sheesh.

Coming from the flip side, where I am very light and my daughter is quite brown, I hear you loud and clear. Complete strangers will ask me if Viva is adopted. When I say she's not, they come back with some variation of, "Oh. Is her daddy black?"
What I like to say is, "Yes, and so is her mother." Fucking idiots.

Yeah -- I totally see the swarthiness of you. :) People are mouthy sometimes about things they have no business being mouthy about.
