So Funny I Forgot To Laugh

One of my favorite websites is "Damn You Auto Correct".  I read it daily to get my fix of stupid humor.  On one of the message boards I'm a member of, someone posted an auto correct that a lot of the other members were laughing at.

Read it first, then come back.

I guess my inner adoptee hackles became raised because I didn't find it funny, and asked the other members why they thought it was.

The answers varied, but basically I was told that not everyone has a negative attitude about adoption and that many kids will torture their siblings with the dreaded "You're adopted" line.  And that I shouldn't read too much into the link since not everyone feels the same way I do.  Okay.  Yeah.  Uhhhhhh...no...still not funny.

I know that they are coming from a different place than we are.  I get that.  I understand that there are people out there who are so far in the fog that me saying I'm angry that adoption exists gets them defensive. 

I shut down while I read their responses...and if any of them are reading this, I'm not directing this to anyone person.  It just really was a rude awakening to read some of the comments and to see how adoption is viewed by a lot of people.

I'm just tired of the jokes, you know?    I'm tired of hearing the punchline and realizing that it's me.
