I remember my oldest boy asking me why are there people of color. He was 4 at the time, we were in the car and I was driving him to daycare. I paused for a moment and responded: " well Nick, it just not only the color of skin, everyone may have different color eyes, some people have red hair, some blond. If everyone looked the same and thought the same, life would be boring. I think it was God's way of allowing us to get along and learn from each other". I thought to myself, this is a good answer.
My son replied: "oh, ok". "Dad, who's God??. I paused for a moment, the car became quiet. I replied " oh look, we are at your school". I will never forget that day.
