Excuse Me......Are You Irish?

Okay…I know it is not uncommon for people to show their silliness when it comes to questions asked towards the parents of international adoption…but listen to this…...

Tricia, Lucy and I were traveling from Oklahoma City to Muskogee on our way back from our new bishop’s ordination. We stopped at a Cracker Barrel to eat and meet up with a bus load from our congregation. I don’t know for sure if it is relevant or not, but I was wearing a black priest shirt with full round white collar. I was holding Lucy out in the “shopping” area of the Cracker Barrel and a lady came up to me and asked if I was with a sight seeing group. I said, no. She then asked me if I was Irish. I said, no. She looked a Lucy and said is she Chinese? I said, no and then she said she and her friends were just nosey.

Irish? What in the heck it that all about? Asking if Lucy is Chinese I understand, but asking me if I was Irish really through me for a loop. All I could say was no. If I had not been in shock from the absurdity of the question, I could have really had some fun with her.

Lucy is doing great…no more worms crawling out of her back side….oh yea, did I mention that Lucy had pin worms? Not something you just go around talking about.
