Today, I found out that I was not adopted and in fact my parents are my biological parents. How did I find out? Over dinner. How long have I been believing I was adopted? 22 years. Why did I start believing I was adopted? My siblings thought it would be a funny joke. My mom played along. FML

I can see they play this joke 1 day and then forget about it, but afterwards, didn't you every ask questions?!? Surely they would say something like "what are you on about, that was a joke" Like they did now, but come on, 22 years and you never brought up the subject anymore?
