Innocently Spoken -out of the mouth of babes

I had to type this before I forget because it was so innocent and cute...

I was walking Jordan into school yesterday and this little girl waved to Jordan and said Hi to him.
We continued our walk to his room and I asked him who that little Chinese girl with the glasses was that said hi to him was and he replied, 
"She's not Chinese she speaks English!"

Just like the time Braedyn was in Kindergarten and made a friend named, Keshawn. I asked him if he was black like his friend Luther..he was confused and said what do you mean Luther is brown. So then we talked about how some people call African Americans, black people and we are White.
and he said so innocently...
"but mommy we aren't white, we are peach"

Now if everyone just thought of each other like kids think of colors like the colors in the boxes of crayons like the story the boys have that everyone is equal...
wouldn't the world be a more friendly place...

As I was telling another mom that story we both chuckled as we wondered what if on an application for race we can put Peach or Nude :)!
