Switched At Birth

When I was 10 years old or so, my mom, older sister and I watched a made-for-TV movie about two girls that had been switched at birth and grew up with the "wrong" family.

The movie was the perfect ammunition we needed to scare our little sister into thinking she was switched at birth whenever she did something strange or outside of our sisterly approval.

The days of her believing us are long gone, but today I've discovered hard evidence that Grayson may have been switched at birth. Disregard the fact that he has my eyes, his father's busyness, plus other hereditary traits, I am certain you'll see this proof as indisputable as well.

My son does not like the taste of barbecue sauce. How can this be? After all the barbecue kettle chips I devoured during my pregnancy, you'd think he would have developed a culinary palate for the flavor.

At school today, they served barbecue chicken for lunch and he would barely eat any of it. I know he likes chicken, so it had to have been the barbecue sauce.

I must say this news was deeply troubling when the teachers told me and after thinking about it all the way home, I can only come up with one conclusion. He was switched at birth.

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything but I thought the same thing. Ha. :) Remember those delish BBQ chips you had in OBX? Amazing. John overdosed on them upon our return and we haven't had any since.
