And mine are no exception.
Today when I picked Tatum up and we were leaving her school, she stopped at the front desk to say, 'Bye' to her director, Ms. Nazneen. After talking with her for a moment, Tatum asks, 'Are you brown?'
I laughed, put my hand over my mouth, and just looked at Tatum and Nazneen, who is, in fact Indian.
Nazneen just laughed, looked at me, and remarked, "You're going to have to get earmuffs, because that's just the type of child she is!"
My response was a very articulate, "Well...."
Nazneed turned and answered Tatum laughing, "Yes, Tatum. I AM brown!"
Everyone in earshot of that particular conversation probably got an ab workout as well.
At least we know she speaks the truth!
HA!! You should see Caleb's drawing from school yesterday. They talked about how God made us all different shades of brown, and they painted with different shades of brown. He painted 3 classmates, each a different color, and named them correctly! His teacher couldn't wait to show me when I picked him up!
