Here are the answers that one mother gave to those who questioned her about her adoption of children:
Q: Oh, isn’t it a shame you can’t have children of your own?
A: Not really. There’s a lot of insanity in both our families.
Q: Do you know all about the parents?
A: Everything. One was male. The other was female.
Q: Did the adoption agency try to match your features, colouring, and personalities?
A: Good grief! I hope not!
Q: Aren’t you worried about hereditary factors?
A: Heavens, no! Regardless of how bad their ancestors were, they’ve GOT to be better than ours!
