My friend, Mary, has a 4 year old granddaughter who goes to pre-school and who has a little friend who happens to be black. They wondered when children began to notice the color of one's skin so asked what her little friend looked like. The answer was that she was a little girl. Then they asked what else she looked like and the granddaughter, quite perturbed at this point because she thought it was such a silly question, answered, "Well, she has 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth!".
I wish very much that the innocence of this sweet child would last forever.
