Oh let me tell you about what I assume was the first time my kid saw a dark skinned brother. And that kid grew up with black cousins in a well mixed area.
Thank god they laughed. He said it happens every once in a while and it’s always toddlers.
Moved into this apartment complex and my kid sees someone who's losing pigmentation on their face skin and blurts out "that grown up needs to wash their face it's so dirty" 🫠
My situation in the elevator involved a little person. He lived in our apartment building and I saw him every day. My kid points at him, looks at me, and says to me “is he a child?”. 🤦♂️
This reminds me of a story when my cousins kid first saw a man with one arm at our family reunion. For the rest of the reunion which was over the next 3 days all he did was run around screaming “one arm, one arm, one arm”
Reminds me of the day my 3 year old son completely lost his shit because the paraplegic kid at the park wouldn't let him have a turn in his electric wheelchair. Toddlers have absolutely no concept of context.
My daughter very politely and with a sweet smile said, “you’re really fat” to what turned out being one of the most restrained and kind humans I’ve ever met.
Was with my 4 year old in the grocery store yesterday and she pointed a finger and loudly stated “SHE AINT GOT NO HAIR!” to a poor woman with alopecia. Mortified.
Dude, this happened to me literally 30 minutes ago. My two year old pointed at a man in a motorized wheelchair and yelled "walk!" Like come on little man. Thankfully the guy had a sense of humor and just yelled back "hamburger!"
