Such a beautiful story. Sweet Caroline! ❤️"Out of the mouths of babes...."
Reminds me of a story my mother related that happened in the 60s during the Civil Rights movement. Mom was in the IGA. A woman was pushing her little girl in a shopping cart when the child, seeing a beautiful African American woman also shopping, clapped her little hands together and said loudly in the produce aisle, "Mama, look at the pretty chocolate lady!"
Her horrified mother tried to shush her and avoided the gaze of the woman, who walked over to the child, smiled, and said, "Thank you. That's the nicest way I have ever been described."

I can imagine the mother’s reaction! But what a kind response, understanding the child’s innocence. Wow. Thank you for sharing, Nevie!
This story brought me joy. It's amazing how many times our children can help us see things in new ways.
