"Miss, do white people peel dey skin cuz dey related to snakes?"
This is what I heard from a first grade student today regarding my peeling forehead. I tried to explain to him that white people's skin peels when they get sun burnt. He wasn't interested in that part, but really why white people are related to snakes and he is not. He was visibly shook up til I told him that in truth we aren't related to snakes, only monkeys. Thank goodness, that was a close one! :) Life is beautiful.
