Learning not to assume

At my mom's club breakfast this morning there were several new prospective members.  I was having a conversation with one woman who had an amazingly beautiful little boy.  I mean, this kid was bordering on angelic he was so damned cute, but that's not really the point.  So I was trying to make small talk and I ask her if he is her only child, she tells me that he is.  "Any plans for another?" I ask her.  She tells me they're not sure. "Well accidents can happen"  I joke. And then she tells me that since she and her partner (who was sitting right beside her) are lesbians, an accident isn't liable to happen any time soon.  "Probably not" I agree. 


I hope I didn't make too much of an ass out of myself, because these women were really cool and I hope they join the group.

    I am thinking they are used to that (unfortunately) or going to run into such faux pas, as they are not a traditional family. How cool though! Not that it matters since they love the boy but did they adopt or is he from one of them? I just find these things fascinating as I have always considered adopting (no we aren’t now). Either way, I am very happy for them and I do hope they join the group.

  2. That is too funny Jamie! I dont think they will think too much of it. Like Jen said they are probably used to it.
