SHADES OF PINK?

Nicholas and I read a Sesame Street story last night about blue and red monsters. We talked about how people come in all colors and that we should celebrate what is common about us. I asked him what color I am, and he said brown. I asked him about mommy, and he said pink. I asked him about himself and little Cate, and he said pink. Now, perhaps he does not understand "beige," but it was interesting to see how he views himself. I do think that the "mutt"inization of America will be a good thing. Perhaps Nicholas' kids, when asked what color they are, will not even understand the question.
