The next morning, Alice found her crying and gently asked what had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through tears, Emma revealed that her grandmother told the teacher she had \u201conly two grandkids,\u201d excluding Emma entirely. Worse, she handed Alice a folded paper\u2014a DNA test Alice\u2019s mother had given her to \u201cprove\u201d they weren\u2019t related.
