Say what???

Kids say the funniest things and my little Mclane is no different. I just had to share these conversations.

This last week Mclane has come to really notice that people are of different color skin, mostly because he goes to school with a wide variety of ethnicity.

Me: So Mclane who are you going to play with at school tomorrow, since Katie will be out of town for the week?

Mclane: I don't know?

Me: How about Collin?

Mclane: No he plays with Karia.

Me: don't you like Karia?

Mclane: I don't know she gets in trouble a lot.

Me: Oh, Why?

Mclane: I don't know, maybe because she got paint on her. She got black all over herself!

Me: (trying not to laugh) Why do you say that?

Mclane: She looks like she spilled black paint on her.

Me: that is the color of her skin.

Mclane: No, I am sure it is paint cause she is really black all over herself!

Later that week I was driving home from school with Mclane, and this was our conversation.

Mclane: Mom did you know I am half dark and half white?

Me: Oh and why is that?

Mclane: Because Dad is dark and you and white and I am both!

Me: ...OK.... (cant argue with that)

I love my little guy, and love that he is learning things and figuring out the world every day in his own little way!
