Yesterday, a co-worker (she's white) had her kids in the office in the afternoon. The little girl is 3 years old. So I'm talking to the kiddies (because I love kids). The little girl looks at me and says, "You're Black." Her mother turns BRIGHT RED!!! LOL! I smiled at her and I said, "Yes, sweetie, I am." THEN, she looks at her mom, pulls on her shirt and says, "Mom, your shirt is black, too." Her mother kept trying to shut her up, it was hilarious!!!!! (of course, a lesson had to follow, but I'll leave that out, it takes away from the lightness of the thread!
)
Now mind you, this is not the first time that this has happened to me. A few years ago, I used to waitress at Denny's. Well, one day, I go to the table to take the family's order. The little girl looks up from her coloring book and says, "Miss, you're Black." I said, "Yes, I know." She then proceeds to tell me that her mom is beige but her dad is more pink. So I asked her what color she was. She says, matter-of-factly, "Kinda pink and kinda beige!"
