The other day Charlie piped up with the observation that some people's faces are darker than his. "You mean their skin?" I asked. So we ended up having a discussion about different skin color, how all sorts of people have all sorts of differences, etc., etc. A little teaching opportunity. Some people have light skin, and some people have dark skin.
"Right," says Charlie. "Like Andrew McCutchen. He has dark skin." I agree, and ask if Andrew is in his kindergarten class. "No Mom. Andrew McCutchen." He says. "The Pittsburg Pirates centerfielder!"
Oh, of course. I've always heard it said that some of life's greatest lessons are learned through sports.
