By now we have come accustomed to the stares or blank looks
on people’s faces as we pass by. You see all the wheels turning in their heads
with questions, but most people never ask. However, there are the few…the
brave…mostly kids, who ask the questions you know everyone else is wondering. Here
are just a few of the questions we’ve been asked.
· * (To Jill)
Why don’t you wear a pagne? (Many women, especially those who are married, wear
traditional Africa fabric as skirts called a pagne).
· * Are your kids twins? (Our response) No. (Kids) All white people look alike.
· * Why do your kids have different colored hair
than you?
· * Where did your kids learn to speak English?
· * What kind of food do you eat? Can I have some?
· * (To Gavin) How much did you have to pay for your
wife?
And our favorite question so far:
· * Why are you so white? Is there no sun in the
United States?
