An odd question

Have you ever had odd questions posed to you from living here that shocked or surprised you?


I had one yesterday! My daughter has chestnut brown hair, and my son has blonde hair - not really weird or unusual considering my husband has brown hair and my own hair is reddish blonde. Maybe it’s odd for people here though, since I was asked how my children were siblings if they had different hair colors.

I know - it was probably an innocent question, but it was from a grown adult in a professional career - and it’s still rubbed me the wrong way that someone could be that ignorant.

    They were clearly not taught well enough about genetics

    On a different note, I'm really glad people don't bring up the fact that my daughters don't look like me. They aren't my biological children so maybe it's out of politeness, but it's politeness I appreciate

    I always find it hilarious when people ask me how I could dye my (very obviously) fake blonde hair into a dull dark brown (my natural hair color).
