As most of you know, the adoption of my Grand daughter was final on 11-1-11. All is well and moving at the normal hectic pace of a healthy, vivacious, hyper, 10yr old. Every day something surprising pops up. Yesterday, while practicing dribbling, and passing a basketball (from cheerleader to ball player) she came up with another zinger. Outside the radio is blaring, singing, laughing, and basically wearing me out, she stops cold…"Daddy, does the adoption mean that my Mom is now my SISTER?" Short pause. "I don’t care who you are that’s funny!…anyway I’m going to my friends house, love you, bye." On her bike and gone. Who was that girl? I never got to answer her until later that night.

Her sense of humor is delicious, and the way she asked was funny, but my heart really gave a tug. These questions just come from out of the blue. This was just one. She gets the truth every time.
