iocasta posted: Levi is no longer color blind, as in racial
differences. The other day we were walking in the neighborhood
and saw a gentleman on the bike. Think classic Schwinn with
banana seat paired with ape hanger handle bars. Levi commented
poor people ride kid bikes. BTW- the guy wasn't riding a kid's
bike it just looked like that but that is another story. We
asked why he thought the person was poor. Levi's response was
because he was brown. We were both floored at this comment. We
explained while there maybe some validity to the general
supposition but it doesn't make it true. That you can't know a
person's situation by the color of their skin. Of course, we
went to point out all of the "brown" people that he knows aren't
poor and there are quite a few people in that category. So much
for innocence. mrswhitecastle responded: Don't you wish we could
keep them innocent much longer? Emily (7) Elizabeth (5)
