White Skin
so I only have about five minutes, but the cutest thing happened during church :o) I sat in a different place today, in the back with people from the surrounding community instead of with my boys in the front. I had to sit somewhere with an easy exit for hospitality stuff. But anyway, this little boy ends up sitting next to me and getting really cuddly with me! It was so adorable :o) He was probably like 8? ..8ish. He's holding my hands and rubbing my skin and I'm just thinking it's the cutest thing, but then I realize that he's staring at me. His eyes are following intently where his fingers travel.... it's because I'm white! Haha, I'm pretty sure I laughed out loud when I realized this, despite my sitting in church :o) He was rubbing over my freckles and my knuckles, slowly and deliberately. Then (after realizing) I showed him this big huge freckle on the arm that was further away from him and he rubbed it --no joke-- for like ten minutes. Haha, the joys of living in Africa :o)
