Color Blind


Ni'ke brought me this picture the other day. "Oh, how pretty!" I said. "Who are all these people?"

"That's daddy and you and Rea and me!" she said pointing from left to right.

"Oh, sure enough!" I said, chuckling at my red ponytail... I had to ask about my skin color though. So curious about what she would say.

"So Ni'ke, why is Mommy's skin the same color as everyone else's?" I waited for her spiritually profound answer.

"I didn't have a vanilla crayon," she said matter of factly.
