Nick and I told Sophia that after 1 whole month of going poop on the potty, she could pick out a special prize at Target. She, of course, picked a new doll. The obsession is real. While we were checking out, the cashier asked Sophia if she was going to a birthday party. We both gave her a blank stare. She then pointed to the doll and asked Sophia if she picked her out for a friend. Sophia continued to stare blankly and I let the cashier know that she was a prize for Sophia being fully potty trained. '
The woman gave me a puzzled look and turned to Sophia and asked, "Are you sure this is the doll you want, honey?" Sophia finally found her voice and said, "Yes, please!" The cashier replied, "But she doesn't look like you. We have lots of other dolls that look more like you." I immediately became angry, but before I could say anything,
Sophia responded with, "Yes, she does. She's a doctor like I'm a doctor. And I'm a pretty girl and she's a pretty girl. See her pretty hair? And see her stethoscope?" Thankfully the cashier decided to drop the issue and just answer, "Oh, that's nice." This experience just confirmed my belief that we aren't born with the idea that color matters. Skin comes in different colors just like hair and eyes and every shade is beautiful.

Just imagine
ReplyDeleteVery nosy somebody.
ReplyDeleteFake story. This woman was just looking for cheap attention and she got it. Which 2 year old can say "stethoscope?" In this modern America and with everything going on here, which cashier would say "But she doesn't look like you. We have lots of other dolls that look more like you."? Lie lie woman! She just wants people to know that she bought a black doll for her daughter, shikena! Yeye woman!
ReplyDeleteNa wa o u dey vex o
DeleteLoad of crap if you ask me, I believe people are just trying to make a bigger deal over nothing. If race and color really didn't matter this wouldn't need to be a story. But it is because it does and people in this day in age make things so, an true. How many black doctors are there compared to drug dealers or rapists. I have nothing against anyone but it's the people in this world who make things they are. Even whites have there issues no one is perfect but we aren't all the same either.
