that is your daughter? Really, that's your daughter?
So I has noticed that often people ask if she is my daughter several times despite getting an answer the first time.
The other day it happened again and K noticed this time and asked "Why do people always ask you two times if I am your daughter?" (I didn't realize she had been notice it too)
We talked about since our skin doesn't match people are surprised that we are a family so they ask again since they don't understand right away about our family.
I have worried about the day when she will understand the connotation behind the comments that people make to us in public and I am sure it will get worse as she gets older but for now she is more than willing to be patient while people figure out that family doesn't have to match. But I realize that it is time to step up educating her on what her options are to respond to the intrusive questions that she will be asked.
