I was at a gathering for the ladies in our church when one of the women tapped me on the shoulder and said "Can I talk to you for a second?" I thought she had something really serious that she needed to talk with me about so I stepped to the side with her. She said, "Well, I see you holding and taking care of other people's children all the time. ...don't you wanna have kids of your own?"
I had already had my first miscarriage, we didn't have health insurance,
my husband was a student, and there was no way, at that time, that we
could try to have kids of our own. No matter how much we wanted them. So standing there, listening to her rant on and trying to find the nearest exit, honestly, I just laughed in my head and thought, "You're kind of stupid."
