We are color blind . . .And I wouldn't have it any other way.


Isabel:  (While looking at a picture that DJ drew of our family)  Papi has brown skin.

Me:  Yes he does.  What color skin do you have?

Isabel: (Looks at her arm) Tan

Me:  What color skin does Alexandria have?

Isabel:  Tan

Me:  What color skin do I have?

Isabel:  Tan

Me:  So you and me have the same skin color?

Isabel:  Yup, see.  (puts her hand next to mine) Mine's just a little bit browner.

Me:  Will you give me some of that color?  I want beautiful skin like yours.

Isabel:  No! How would I do that?

On the same note, different child, Alexandria is convinced that her and Isabel have the same skin color. . . .they're white.
