Wasn't that true in Rogers and Hammersteins' Cinderella with Whitney and Brandy?

Semi-related: when my younger brother was in kindergarten he drew a picture of our family. My step-father tans very quickly and very easily (and never burns, the lucky duck...) and this was right at the end of summer when he's always at his darkest.

"That's my daddy. He's a brown man."

ETA: Now that I think about it I don't know how funny it actually is, but the teacher did call my mom in for a clarification.
