when my granddaughter milli
painted her doll’s face black
we all yelled at her for it;
now, after thinking about it
she’s the only black child
in our entire community
now i understand
dammit
now i understand

Sometimes children teach us wisdom and understanding. Hugs to Milli. My daughter played with two dolls almost her size as a toddler. One was black and one was white, both inherited from her great grandmother. I only wish I’d had dolls for her of every skin colour on Earth. Also, blue, green, orange…

Thanks Michael. I can be silly and foolish too. Whatever wisdom I have gathered is because I’m learning too. We’re all evolving in our understandings. 😘✨
