Story by: Ladykay29

I am the parent to two wonderful five year old twins. Ryan and Amber. They couldn't be any different from each other. Amber is very talkative, friendly, and super smart. She truly lives life to the fullest. Ryan, he is a mommy's boy (and I LOVE IT) he is shy, reserved, but also smart. I am multi-racial and Ryan and Amber's father is white. So, suffice it to say they have a light complexion and Ryan was born with blonde hair and blue eyes. Amber has brown hair and brown eyes. Usually people stare and make comments (not always nice ones) and this has rubbed off on my children while at school.

One day Ryan came home and said "Mommy, *Keith asked me a lot of questions today." I replied "like what baby?" Ryan proceeded to say " Keith asked me what color my hair was." and I said "and what did you tell him?" Ryan said "I told him my hair was brown. But then he asked me what color my eyes are and I told him blue. After that, he wanted to know what color my skin was." I was almost scared to ask, but I said, and what did you say to Keith then Ryan?" and with a straight face and said very 'matter-of-factly' Ryan said "I told him my skin color was regular." My kids are wonderful!

mr_astral~ It's sad to say Karen, but a lot of people can only think what society leads them to believe. I remember when you and talked about this and some people would ask you if you were their nanny. They had a few options to say to you, but you noticed how they just chose that one?

They could have said "and who are these lovely kids?" OR "Awwww, they are just too cute". But their mentality only allows them to think one way. In the business world, these people are considered "THE HERD", which means, they say and do what is taught to them. Here is a good example:

What is the VERY first thing that comes to mind when I ask you this question: What color is Santa Claus? THINK FAST WITH A QUICK RESPONSE! MOST PEOPLE WILL ANSWER "WHITE". But people who think, lets say, "out the box", would say "Santa Clause is the color of the person giving the gift".

I can't say don't let it bother you, because I know it will, but I can say when you hear it, just realize you're talking to a part of "THE HERD", so take out your mental prod, and poke them along their way, and too make it fun, make a low "BUZZ" sound when you do it LOL.

3FurryMutts~ It sounds like Ryan is VERY bright!

mellyobelly~ Kids comments sure are a breath of fresh air...Aren't they. :-)

mainepitbull~ LadyKay that is so sweet!! It amazes me at the things that my four year old says, they are so innocent, untrained to social beliefs and it truly amazes me to hear some of the unrehearsed thoughts of a youngster!
