Deep Issues

We were sitting at the table, enjoying a little lunch. I was enjoying my yummy salad, not really paying attention to what the kids were talking about when I hear Anna say, "Mommy, did you hear me?"
"What did you say?" I ask her.

"Yes, Anna, God made us white. He made everyone different and everyone beautiful in their own way." I answered.
She thought for a bit and said, "I wish God would have made me pink."
Jakin, who had been quiet through the whole conversation, added, "And I want to be green."
