My seven year old daughter called me at work yesterday morning to let me know she was about to leave to catch her bus. I said okay, and told her to have a good day. As soon as I hung up, the phone rang right back. I picked it up and she said, "Oh, mom, I forgot to ask you something...are you gay?" I opened my mouth to respond, but nothing came out. After listening to me stammer and stutter, she said, "I think you are, and I'm going to tell everyone my mom is the gayest mom in the world!!!" I said, "Sierra!!! Why would you say that??" She said, "Well, you are and that's why I love you a whole lot!!" I said, "Sierra, do you know what gay means?" She said, "Sure! It means you are the happiest person!!" Then she said, "bye, I love you!"
Needless to say, I sat at my desk stunned for a few minutes. I can imagine her announcing to the class that she has the gayest mom on earth!
