Two Things

#1
Another group of girls is working on a business. They told me it is a restaurant that sells "black people food."

What is black people food?

"you know, funnel cakes and chicken and stuff."

Wait, I can't eat funnel cakes because I'm not black?! But I love funnel cakes. :(

"You IS black, Miss Vinson."

*I hold out my arm* Um, I am very clearly not black.

"That's just your skin color. It don't mean nothing."

One of the girls birthdays was last week and her mother brought in cupcakes. Each of the cupcakes had a little plastic purses and shoes and such sticking out of them. The boys thought this was hilarious. They ate their cupcake and then carried around their plastic high-heeled shoe. Deon was holding his tiny little plastic purse like an actual purse and another one of the boys says to me, "Look Miss Vinson, he's a single lady!"

Which made me think of this:
