How old are you girls? The PIT is now 8 and tomorrow is her last day of second grade….I’m not liking this ‘growing up’ thing at the moment lol but that the mom in me I guess! She didn’t ask or seem to even acknowledge the obvious difference between us until she was about 5ish…..when another kid on the playground said “how can SHE be your mama? She’s white?” and the PIT looked at me like…”holyshit mama…you ARE white. Am I?” Up until then she had solely referred to ppl by the color of their shirt. When we moved to our current place there was a hispanic family next door and abt two weeks later she said it….”Why do I look like I should speak spanish?” #SHIT

I bet your girls will take “the news” just a mine did….they’ll just keep on loving their mama & learning from her daily…

Your girls are lucky to have a mama like you….keep that in mind as you go
and stop by more often! (unless you’re offended by my cussing….totally understandable…I’m a bit of a cusser)

Friends of ours are also a mixed couple but the mom is black and dad is white. Their daughter (who was four at the time) asked Khary and I why he was brown and I wasn’t. We looked at each other in disbelief. While she understood that her parents were different colors, she only understood that moms were black, not white. We laughed at that for awhile.
