Who's the Mama?

Jay and I picked Emma up from her Vacation Bible School yesterday.
We were standing by the door waiting for Emma, when her teacher approached Jay and handed him Emma's stuff. They started talking on how sweet and quiet Emma has been and how she's looking forward to seeing her in class in the fall.

I've been waiting all week to meet the VBS teacher since I knew that she is going to be Emma's teacher in the fall.
So, I interrupted their conversation and introduced myself.

Me: Hi Mrs. B. I'm Emma's Mom. It's so nice to finally meet you.
Teacher: Oh, hi! It's nice to meet you too!
[recovering from her surprise]
Teacher: Emma's a doll! She's so cute and sweet...etc, etc.
[pause]
Teacher: I've only been seeing Emma's dad here. The first time I met them, I thought Emma was adopted! Now I know where Emma got her looks from!
Me: Yes, thank God for that!
[laughter]

A few minutes later, we got into the car...

Jay: Jesus Moses Ellis! WTF? Adopted????
