A conversation . . .

When Chandler, Tatum and I were in the kitchen making the cupcakes the other day I am not sure exactly how this conversation got started but it was too cute to not document.

I have a chef sitting on my island and it has a name of "Nello" because the owner of Nellos's Pizza gave it to me. The skin color is a little bit brown in color. Defnitely darker than a typical Italian I think.

Tatum (nearly 4) said, "That looks like a Mexican." Chandler and I agreed with her and added a few comments to her noticing, and even talking, about bringing up such an odd thing. So, I thought this was a good opportunity to bring up about the world was full of all kinds of different skin tones and I pointed out my "Aunt Jemima" on my top shelf and her skin being even darker. I told her that she was an African American because of her dark skin color and that there were all kinds of different nationalities in our world. The next thing Chandler said was, "We have chickens too!"



Yes, I have chickens but what does that do with the topic of different races of people?????
