A Lot of Explaining
Today was a historical day! Jeremiah was so excited. We are watching the recording of the day on our DVR. I had to do some explaining though. Jeremiah was asking questions about racism. He associated Obama's position as President of the United States to the end of racism. I had to explain to him that racism still exists. The profound innocence of a child just makes you wonder where we, as adults, go wrong. His response was "Mama, I would wish all a shooting that that people like ALL brown people." I just looked at him in amazement. Tears in my eyes, all I could say was, "Jeremiah, I know."
