This thread is for posting humorous things that bring a chuckle or a laugh to others. I guess I'll start with this recent true story...
I'm in an interracial marriage, and with three mixed kids, we sometimes deal with interesting situations. Here's a dandy. You might recall that a week or so ago was the MLK holiday, and all the schools (and some businesses) were off. Isabelle, my 7 year old, was off from school that Monday, but I had to work. So, I'm putting my shoes on, getting ready for work, and my wife is combing Isabelle's hair and telling her about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. As she's telling her about how black people used have to sit in the back of bus while white people got to ride in front, Isabelle put her hands on her hips and shoots me a nasty scowl of a glance.
Suddenly feeling very defensive, I blurt out, "Hey! I wasn't even born yet!"
Then, about 10 minutes later, she comes and gets in my lap and asks me, "Daddy, do you have to go to work today because you're white?"
True story.
