An Old Conor Story Worth Posting

When Conor first started daycare, one of his teachers was Ms Joey. She was a cute young girl who said she could never stay upset with Conor when he was misbehaving because he would always come up with something to say that would just crack her up. This is one of those times...

Ms Joey, who is white, was dating a black man. No big deal... Conor and the other kids had seen him bring her lunch or pick her up on various occasions, but this day was a little different... when he brought Ms Joey lunch, he leaned over and gave her a quick smooch, and the following incident took place...

Conor looked at him with a puzzled look, looked at Ms Joey, looked back at her boyfriend, then Ms Joey, then him again, and asked,

"Did you know you're black?"

This kind of caught him off guard, and he looked at Conor, then Ms Joey, then Conor again, and asked,

"Did you know you're white?"

Conor looked at him, looked down at his arms, looked back up at him, and said,

"Yup, you're right," and ran off to play, never giving it a second thought.

Ms Joey and her boyfriend roared with laughter... and every time he came in to bring her lunch or pick her up, one of the kids would ask him, "Did you know you're black?" and he would reply, "Did you know you're white?"

Through the innocent eyes of a child...
