"Look Mama" she said "There is my baby and there is Denija's baby." Curious to to hear her answer I asked her why that one was hers and the other Denija's. Her reply "cause they match us." No judging, just matching. My grandmother who died when I was three years old taught me in a way that I never forgot that we are all the same. She had bought me an african-american doll. She asked me if I wanted some chocolate she gave me the doll and said it was a chocolate baby. I bit its finger and was mad that it was a doll and not chocolate. Then she handed me a white chocolate candy. I told her it was not the right color for chocolate because chocolate was not white. She told me to taste it. It was chocolate. Granny then explained people are the same on the inside no matter what our color is on the outside. I often wonder what I missed since she died, then I try to be thankful for what she taught me while she was alive.

You write so beautifully! Loved this post so much - we are all white but have a very multi-racial extended family, and the other day she announced something which we assume she got from her coloured cousin: "Mom, I'm black like my dad!" They are so beautifully colourblind. :) Just discovered your blog today through a friend – love it! You write so beautifully!
