Minority

Yipee! The car is fixed. I no longer feel imprisoned. Since I hadn't driven for several days, I felt OK about driving far for some shopping and fun. So, off to IKEA we went. I found bunches of stuff including fabric for my curtains. The kids and I ate lunch at their cafe after we were done shopping. Braden finished first, so I let him play in the kids area with the other children. After awhile I noticed that he stood out like an albino surrounded by highly pigmented people . I counted ten kids including himself. Of the ten, about 4 were asian, 2 were black, 3 were hispanic, and 1 was middle eastern or something. Because I find random hilarity in situations like this, I snapped a picture. My little blond haired, blue eyed boy surrounded by dark skinned, brown eyed, dark haired friends. The best part is that he was having a blast and was thinking nothing of it. Now he knows what it feels like to be a minority.
