Observations

I've been reading a lot of articles/blogs/etc on race and children lately. There's more coming on the issue but wanted to record last nights conversation:

Me: Eliot, do you know what color you are?
E: My eyes are dark brown
Me: No, I meant your skin. What color are you?
E: I'm brown.
Me: What color is Dez?
E: He's dark brown.
Me: What color am I?
E: You're pink.
Me: What color is Daddy?
E: He's hairy.
