A Recent Conversation

Mary-Michael: When Leila gets here, she's going to turn the same color as us, right?
Me: (laughing) Umm, no, babe, she was born with brown skin. That's the way God made her. Why would you think that? 
Mary-Michael: Because it's so hot in Africa.
Me: Did you think she had a suntan?
Mary-Michael: Yes. 
Me: (more laughing) There are other people we know that live here with brown skin.
Mary-Michael: (she's thinking)...well, they are adopted, too, right?
Me: Oh buddy. No, most of them probably aren't. America has lots of different color people. These are great questions. What else you got?
