Out of the mouth of babes

This morning, as Bella and I are cuddling on the couch, we were talking about how historical it is to have an African-American president. I was trying to explain racism, as best I could at 7am with no coffee AND to a 5yr old, and I was using my skin color, her skin color and her dads skin color in my examples. This prompted her to ask:

Bella: "mom, why did God take part of your skin and part of Daddy's skin and when he made my skin?"

Mom: "because that is how he makes babies."

Bella: "Oohh. I thought that he just ran out of skin."

Gotta love it!
