My best friend was here visiting this weekend and told me a story about her nephew that I have to share. (The names have been changed because I forgot the real ones.)
His first season in tiny tot soccer had young Jack bubbling at home about his new teammates, especially one named Brad. He talked about Brad incessantly - Brad said this, Brad did that. Brad was his new best friend.
Jack's mother asked him which kid on the team was Brad.
"What does he look like?" she asked.
"He's the one with red sweatpants," Jack told her.
At the next soccer game, she made a point to watch for the amazing Brad and sure enough, there was a kid in red sweatpants - the only African-American child on the team.
Don't you love it?
