I was at my Jamaican friend’s house and his five year old daughter Cheyenne asked me bluntly, “Why are you so white?”
At first it seemed like an easy question but I quickly realized that I didn’t have an answer and said, “I don’t know.”
To which she replied, “Do you lotion?”
I then said, “No.”
She rolled her eyes knowingly and said, “You should. Mommy puts lotion on me when my elbows get white.”
I nodded and said, “Thanks. Looks like I got a big job ahead of me.”
