I was driving the now almost-3-years-old little one to his day care this morning when he exclaims, “Mommy, XXXX is black!” about a dark-skinned classmate. I was a little surprised at the tone of that, and recognizing a theme for a lecture, asked him, “so, what color are you?”.
He looks down at his shirt for only a moment before he triumphantly answers back, “I am striped!”.
