AND WHAT IS HER POINT?



TLW (The Little Woman) came home one evening and started relating to me how she saw this baby at the Wanna-Be Bank and Truss Company.

It seems there was a young man Mark, who worked at the wanna-be bank, got married, had a child, and then left for a new career. The man happens to be African American, and that is pertinent to this story. (Please, no whining)

Seeing a baby: sitting on a young woman’s lap as she sat with one of the wanna-be bank employees conducting her business, TLW said to herself; “My God, that looks just like Mark’s baby!” She then immediately pointed the child out to Toots II, Lois. Toots II agreed with TLW so naturally TLW decided to investigate.

After a conversation with the young woman, she discovers that the child is Mark’s niece, so naturally the child looks like Mark’s!

After relating this all to me, she then began to ask the $6 Million question:

“So, what does THAT tell you?”

“That they all look alike?”

“NOOOOOO! IT TELLS YOU PEOPLE CAN LOOK ALIKE BECAUSE THEY ARE RELATED, not because of their color!”

Say: Goodnight Gracie.
