Well you would think that! But apparently it isn’t the case.
I went to a maternity ward and saw the prettiest little lightskinned baby. Thought it was hispanic or something.
Went back a day or so later and same name, but that baby was a black baby!
I asked a nurse and she explained it to me. Something about the melanin in the skin or blabity blah. Ohh well, learn something new everyday!
I like how your adjectives fell off of the description once the melanin kicked in. Very interesting.
That particular fact was something that bothered me when I read how Susan Blake described Jr as “new and pink”. When Ann arrived on Mercer Island with Jr he was quite the newborn to be described thus. We have a Freeper that commented back on this thread about having biracial grandchildren. He said his grandchildren appeared white at first and developed their coloring within the first week. Don’t ask me which Freeper on this thread eventhough I have read through this thread twice!
