I spoke with my brother earlier today and told him mom sent us a blessing, he said, “A blessing, a white same sex couple bringing up a black boy, sounds like a challenge.”<\/p>\n
I told him, “You’re jealous because we lead a more interesting life than you.”<\/p>\n
Today when we were walking around the mall, everyone wanted to get a look at Tin – he’s gorgeous, not just because he’s cute but because he has personality galore.<\/p>\n
My other brother wrote how did you come up with the name Tin (this was after he was harping that I had to get him re-circumcised by a mohel) – I said it is short for Constantin and that circumcision is genital mutilation – he cringed in his next response and begged me to see the light, for god’s sakes.<\/p>\n
My other brother sent me an email and said, “Do I have to be in prison to find out you have a son?” He’s the funny one.<\/p>\n
My emails are not sending from the Indiana outpost – I sent to my family and my very close friends an email before I posted to my blog the adventures of Tin, but no one got the email and one friend said she had to read it on my blog, and my family remained clueless until one of them I happen to get through to knew and lorded it over the other ones, one by one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
