Colorful Minds

Last night as we were saying our bedtime prayers with the boys, Mr. Querido asked them to pray in Spanish with him. We gently encouraged them to follow along after us.

"Gracias a Dios" *a pause as we wait for them to join in*
Silence.
"Don't you want to pray in Spanish?" Mr Querido asks.
"But I'm not brown like you yet, Daddy!" was the reply from Mr. Independent.

So there you have it. My inability to speak fluent Spanish is in direct correlation to my skin color!
