I was teaching the 7 yr olds last Sunday and one of my kids said, "You're Chinese and you married a white boy?!!" She's a cute little "black" girl who apparently found it appalling that I married someone "white." So I said to her, "Well, what color is his heart? And what color is my heart? Then both of our hearts are red. Isn't that the same?" The other little kids said, "it doesn't matter what color he is." So I continued, "That's right. What if he was purple and I was green? Or what if an orange person loved someone who's blue?" They were giggling by this time. I found it interesting and a little sad that a 7 yr old child found it unacceptable for a yellow person to marry a white person... Hey Danu, I have to relay a funny story.
