Didn't Lilith go first and fail to suck so she had to be recycled or something? I'm from THAT genetic line....

Oh, I'll claim any genetic lineage if it's useful... My MIL visited and on a drive somewhere bought brazil nuts and called them, "N toes...." Well, I called her out immediately (I lived in downtown Baltimore) but she also tended to boast a bit about her son's "Native American" heritage. Which caused my then 10 year old to ask as we were eating, "Mom, what's MY heritage." Without missing a beat I said, "Well honey, we're part Australian and our lineage includes Aboriginal heritage."
DEAD SILENCE.
MIL was going over to visit my mom, so just in case the topic came up, I had to call my mom and ask her to cover my lie "Or, alternately, tell the MIL that her daughter in law is a lying brat..."
My mom had the perfect response, "Okay honey. I
highly doubt the topic will come up, however."
I let my son believe he was blackish for a few years, then told him the truth.
It was SO satisfying, I have a hard time feeling bad, even today.
So yeah, it's probably MY fault though,
@BackDoc . See how I am? LOL
