The Bi-Racial Child

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.
