Recently, BA noticed that people are different colors. One day not long ago I caught him examining his arms and hands. When I asked him what he was doing, he said, "Mom, am I white?"
Today he was doing that again. This time he said, "Mom, am I white right here (pointing to the palm of his hand)?" I then proceeded to tell him that he was indeed "white," but you could also call it "caucasian.
While visiting G-pa and G-ma today he saw his cousin and said, "G-ma, Matti is caucasian."
The fact that he thinks about this stuff baffles me, because we have never discussed people or their races...I wish I could listen to the thoughts of my three year old!
