A young woman named Mary gave birth to her first child, and because her husband wason military duty, she spent a couple of weeks after the birth at the home of her parents.
One day mary mentioned to her mother that she was surprised the baby's hair was reddish, when both her and her husband were blonde.
"Well Mary," said her mother "you must remember,your daddy's hair is red."
"But Mamma said Mary," that doesnt make any difference because I'm adopted."
With a little smile, Mamma said the loviest words that her daugther had ever heard: "I always forget."
