Short Story

I was going to call my mom to relate this little conversation that just happened right now, but I left my cellphone at a restaurant, so here it is.

I was just changing Lupe, while Ruby hovered around us. She started talking about how his belly button matches hers. Then she said, "He's white!"
Of course, I said "he's very white."
To which she rejoined, "I'm white too, just like my brother. And you're white, too."
I started laughing and said, "that's true."
Then she screamed, "everybody's white!"
I then asked, "what about Nana?"

She looked up at me and thought for a second before saying proudly, "Nana is brown."

p.s. and another quick one; as we are getting ready to leave for the museum, she is always allowed to bring one toy on any excursion, so she decides to bring a purse, then starts filling it. She tells me she's bringing the blue purse for the fifth time and I absent-mindedly ask "what did you put in it?"
She looks inside and says "all sorts of stuff."
