When my sister was very young and first saw a black person in a grocery store, she blurted out loudly, “Ooh, Mom. He’s Dark!” While my mom awkwardly pushed the cart away as quickly as possible.
I love this! My two youngest daughters have best friends who are “brown” as they say. It was years before any of them took note of their differences in skin color, but “brown” has been my girls’ description of their besties ever since!

And they say children aren’t aware of difference or colour…
(Yes, I’m different that way, I spell colour properly)

That’s my favourite way to spell it
Yep, I think the difference is they treat it at face value, as if they are talking about purple or blue.

Love the innocence of a child.

wow. identifying his mom by color is odd.

Odd for him or odd to you?

just odd to me. I understand why though. When I ask people where my mom is at, I always say, “A big white woman with red hair.”

See? I’m sure Grover tells people his mom is blue.
