So, my wife had a wedding cake client over last week. She of course, brings her two 'ADD' boys (9 and 10) along along with her. The sister of the client told us that they had ADD but I think it was more like DDD (Discipline Deficit Disorder) because the mom never once told the kids 'no' while they were in my house.
ANYWAYS, for those that don't know, my wife and I are a mixed couple (me white, she black - <insert tarzan grunts>). I'm walking down the stairs to our living room and the younger boy says, "Your husband is brown?" I know he probably meant to say 'wife' but I just gave him a WTF look. His brother said, "Dude! Shutup!" I asked him to ask the question again and he asked the same thing again. So I told him, "Yes, my WIFE is brown." The brother was thoroughly embarrassed.
I do my best authoritarian impersonation and take the boys out to my backyard and let them run around and play football while my wife is entertaining the client. They leave, I'm happy.
Client comes back the other day to drop off her deposit on the cake and talks with my wife. She then relays the following story about the youngest son. Apparently, some girl in his class thinks he's cute and passes him a note. He later goes back to the girl and tells her he doesn't like her because she's white. He, and I quote, "only likes brown girls."
He's been fascinated by 'women of color' ever since he left my house. He had seen black men/white women couples before but never a white man/black woman couple. I still have to laugh at the things that kid said.
