'''Deconstructed''': Bob isn't insulted at all. He replies to Alice: "Did you expect me to be insulted? Did you think I would cry about not having 'real' parents? You're so naïve. Why would I care about the parents who gave me up when the parents who took me in are so much better? My parents are the best. Getting adopted was the best thing that ever happened to me. And my adoptive parents specifically ''chose'' me. If they had a choice, would your parents have chosen you? I think not."
