He'll have the same things as me?, she asked, with disappointment I hadn't anticipated in her voice.
He'll have white skin? "Well, your Daddy and I both have white skin, so yes, the baby will have white skin - just like L, and just like you."
Ohh...I wanted a baby with brown skin.

Hee hee - so did I...didn't get it...but it doesn't mean I don't still want one:)
Right there with ya, E. My mother was surprised when I married a white guy because I have always had an irrationally joyful love of black and brown babies and toddlers. I have to stop myself from staring and cooing inappropriately in public, and remind myself that the white kids need attention too in Sunday School. It's not my fault God made them so cute!!
Me too, E! Me too! How could one not covet that beautiful skin and lovely dark eyes? Sadly we didn't mix up the gene pool much either and we are all blue-eyed, transparent people.
