Color Blind…
March 9, 2018//
As I picked up my first grade granddaughter from school the kids were all lined up in front of the playground ready to be released. I asked her who was the black girl sitting behind her was?
She said, you mean the girl that had the pony tail? The one who was wearing the blue sweater? And had the pretty pink backpack with the butterfly on it?
She was the only African American girl in the class. Then I realized that my granddaughter didn’t see skin color as a describing factor. She was color blind!
What I should have asked was; Who was the girl with the pony tail, blue sweater and the pink backpack with the butterfly, sitting behind you?
I learn so many life lessons from a six year old!
