Wee One: She's MY mom!!! (this was not said in kindness)
Me: I'm everyone's mom. I get to love and take care of lots of kids.
Zade: Cuz my birth mom kangaroo couldn't take good care of me, right?
Me: (slightly confused but thinking that maybe I heard him wrong) Right, your first mom couldn't take good care of you.
Zade: And my birth dad kangaroo couldn't take good care of me, either.
Me: (even more confused as to who these kangaroos are) Right, your first dad couldn't take care of you, either. Now I get to take care of you, and you're in our family! But, honey, you know they were actually people and not kangaroos? (By then he was interested in something else, so I'm not sure he even heard me or cared.)
I will keep you updated on any new developments in this kangaroo story. I know that I am missing most of the details about his first 18 months, but this is quite the shocker.
