22 years ago today at about 1pm at SeaTac airport, I got a family. I was born in May a little baby orphan, then was in foster care and finally in my parents arms dec 1 1983. We call it my special day cuz it was a special day for all. My mom says I was wrapped in a blue blanket and there was another baby coming from korea in a pink blanket. Guess which one they got first? Yep, not me. The new mom instincts went for the baby in the pink blanket cause they knew they were getting a girl. However, when they went to dress their new baby for the first time they discovered the baby in the pink blanket was a boy. Akward! HA! I laugh about it now. I bet they were surprised. What do you say, "Eh excuse me i think you have my baby..." The airport always says to check your tags because there could be similar looking baggage. I mean getting the wrong suitcase is understandable, but the wrong baby! YIKES! So they did a little luggage switcharoo with the other family there, but kept the pink blanket and gave the boy the blue one. There you have it folks, that is why today is so special..
PS 3 years later my little sister arrived at the airport and i was there with my parents to pick her up. Hello, a new baby sister, thats exciting until she starts getting all the attention and love so you want to take her back. Back to the airport cuz thats where babies come from. It messed me up for years.... :)
