Little Kids in Bookstores

Today I was walking down one of the aisles at work when I heard a little boy* saying "Barack Obama". If you've never heard a little kid say "Barack Obama", well it's just about the cutest thing ever. So I'm all set to just adore this kid when I come around the corner and see that he isn't looking at a book about/by Barack Obama, it was a book by Randy Jackson...you know American Idol Randy Jackson.

Which led me to reminisce on another occasion at my old bookstore...

We used to sell these little Gandhi, stuffed dolls. One time a kid* came in and said, "Look Mom, a monkey!"

Wow! Little kids are racist!

How about a little diversity parents!

* both kids were white
