The other day my friend and her three little ones came over for a visit. The six-year-old boy said, in regards to Miss E, "She's still brown!"
I smiled.
His mom said, "Yes, honey. She will always be brown."
He nodded and went on to something else.
I love a child's innocence and ability to observe and report those observations without reserve. What a precious, beautiful gift from God our children are!
This conversation reminded me of another friend's two-and-a-half-year-old who said to his mom (again, regarding Miss E), "Why her brown?"
His mom said, "That's how Jesus made her."
My heart melts.
