  • Maybe he can come explain it to Karis because she just told me Martin Luther King was a guy who wanted all of the white people to turn brown. #ParentingFail

    My 5 yr old doesn’t even notice the people’s color. To him they’re just people.
    The other day he heard someone say something about a “black guy,” and he asked me “Why does it matter that the guy is black?” I told him “It really doesn’t matter. Some people are just ignorant.”

  • HAHA! I talked to my daughter about MLK (who she somewhat gets mixed up with Nelson Mandela. Give her a break, she’s 4). When I asked her about MLK day and what it’s about here is what she said:
    “People shooted that very good man because he dreamed. And then he was King of Africa.”
