McKenna, "Mom, can we please crimp my hair?"
Me..., "Maybe" (don't commit, you hate the crimp)
the next day... McKenna, "Mom, you said you would crimp my hair! can we do it now?"
Me, "Tonight, probably..."
While crimping the hair....
McKenna, (as her hair is smoking in the crimper) "I just love how it burns my hair! It's so pretty.... I'm sure people will think I'm brown!"
Me, "Do you wish you were 'brown'?"
McKenna, " Not really... I just like their hair. But I don't want the braids, I just want it like this..."
Me, "why don't you want to be 'brown'?"
McKenna, "Well, because Obama is 'brown' and I don't like him. He's not a very good president."
So, we had a little conversation about how not all people of any race are really the same just because their skin is the same color... I hope she got it- Her hair is HUGE! She is so cute, and so smart... Obama could be purple... still "not a very good president!"
...... there, I've blogged!!
