"but she's adopted though, right? shes not REALLY your sister"

this is how i felt:
I was working briefly for a moving company and we were hauling a heavy dresser into this rich woman's house. We decided to pull out the drawers to make the thing lighter and asked where we should put them, to which her reply was:
"Oh, you can put them in my daughter's room. Well, she's not REALLY my daughter, she's my step-daughter."
Blew me away, all I could think was "You... you had to clarify that to the MOVERS?! You must really love your not-daughter."
