while my sister, timberly, was still pregnant with her baby boy, my niece, skye, started having a few issues with her skin color. her daddy, kalani, is tongan and all three of those babies have the prettiest tan skin. however, skye decided she only liked white babies with blonde hair like madden and weston and she wanted her little brother to look the same. tim kept trying to tell her that her skin was beautiful and people pay a lot of money to have skin her color. she also told her how lucky she is because she can go out in the sun for a long time and not get burned like people with white skin do. i think it finally got through to her because for the last few months almost every time skye sees max (which is quite often!) she apologizes to him..."max, i'm sorry you have burning skin!" and tries to protect him from the sun that seems to hate him so. ;) so, thank you, tim for giving my child a complex now! what kind of benefits am i going to come up with of being on the pale force?? =)
