Many times I don't think about me being in a interracial relationship. I don't see my husband as a different race from me. When I look at Caleb, I don't see him really being a bi-racial child. Until one day, Caleb brings it up. Remember he is only 3 so he doesn't realize or understand much about it.
Caleb: Mommy, you are white.
Me: Yes babe. I am white.
Caleb: I am brown.
Me: Yes you are.
Caleb: Daddy is brown too but you're not brown. You white.
Me: Yes babe. You are brown because you are part Mexican.
Caleb: I am not Mexican!!! I am brown.
LOL. What do you say? I just agree and let it go. My husband is half Mexican therefore Caleb is part Mexican too. Me, I am just a white girl from a little town in West Virginia. LOL. No excitement there.
Suck It Up Mom Moment: I am white. The end.
