Thankfully we haven't had to deal with this yet.<br /><br />Cheri-Speech totally has nothing to do with intelligence!

I was just so tempted to say no... Sometimes I've just got to roll with it, especially with A's speech issues. Someone the other day said, totally surprised "she's smart!"

Funny day about 3 weeks ago...when we had our 2 former foster kids over for the weekend. We took all the kids to the public museum. It forced us to take 2 cars so the looks began as we unloaded the vehicles. As we got close to the entrance and the looks got bigger my husband comment how we must look with 7 kids that all appear to be ours and look and act like forever siblings. We had an 11yr old, 10, 9, 6, 5, 2, and 2 weeks. B said that it was even funnier since only the last 2 had the same father.<br /><br />People don't know how to act or what to say and unless they have adopted/fostered. I know that I can handle to rude remarks because people don't know but it is terrible when they make rude comments to the kids. My kids have learned that they have the opportunity to teach people too.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760806833920841890noreply@blogger.com
