Tired, sick, and a little weepy!

Being tired and sick makes me weepy...and it doesn't help to hear:



Miranda: I don't know why people are so against adoption. I know I'm biased because I'm adopted, but really, DNA doesn't matter.



Brent: Mom, I bet you'd give me away for a big amount of money.

Mom: Really? How big do you think it would need to be?

Brent: A million dollars.

Mom: (with tears down my face) Not for any amount of money, ever, Brent.

Brent: (hugging me) I know, mom.

Perspective of an 11 year old

"You guys sure have to work hard to pay the bills and keep everything going. We kids have it easy...we go to school, come home, have a snack, read a book or play a video, have a friend over...then we get up in the morning and start over. We've got it easy!"
