I think I was just too flustered and snarkingly amused to come up with any witty come backs this morning after this exchange at the courthouse getting some papers authenticated.Edna: Hey Irene. IREEEEENE. You gotta come here.
Irene: (taking her time and shuffling over)
Edna: What's the name of the place where Dolores got her kid? The funny sounding name.
Irene: Urscaclo (my note: ????)
Edna: This young lady here is getting one herself. Is it the same place, honey?
Me: Um.. no. I'm adopting from Uzbekistan.
Irene: Ooo weee. Dolores got her child in Louisiana.
Edna: Humph. Don't think I reckon no Ubeekstan. Countries are popping up like bunnies. Now isn't that where those nude male wrestlers are from? You know, we saw the movie.
Irene: Oh Borat. That's Ka-zee-hawk-i-stan. Is that right, dear?
Me: Yes, Ka-zee-hawk-i-stan.
Edna: Do you know the Parkers from Westlake? They are adopting from the Philippines.
Me: Um, no.
Edna: I need to see your ID and your husband's
Me: It's just me.
Edna: (long silence as she looks me over long and hard) Well, don't you lose hope. You're still cute enough.
Me: Oh. Um. Thanks.
I think I'm most flabbergasted about being cute enough to still wrangle a husband. *sigh*

Ooooh. Dear.
I thought things were bad enough when people ask me if I'm going to teach my Vietnamese baby all about China ;).
(that was my post that was deleted)
WOWZA - that's a doozie.
Hmmm. Next time I head down there I will be sure to look for Irene and Edna. Maybe I can tell her all about the little VietCong we plan on bringing back into the states...
Philistines!
Nice to know you've still got your looks. And that 'getting a husband' is your main goal in life, obviously.
