This conversation took place between me and my son, Harry who is 3 years old. 

Child: Mom, guess what? We are brown. 

Adult: Yes, son, we are brown.

Child: Some people are white too.

Adult: Yes, some people are white.

Child: Dad is black.

Adult: Dad is brown just like us, we are African Americans.

Child: Mom, Dad is black, you’ve seen him!
