In honor of Martin Luther King day, I'm pleased to report that Julia seems to have a much better understanding of the term "African-American" - at least in the sense that she no longer believes an African-American to be a headless mannequin. She has a little ways to go in her comprehension, but the basic idea is now clear to her. As she was watching an episode of "Max & Ruby" this afternoon (which, for those of you not in the know about current kid tv shows, is about bunnies), she announced, "Mom, um, Mrs. Huffington and Baby Huffington are African-American, because they have brown fur."
Closer. Right??
MLK would no doubt be most proud. As long as she judges the Huffingtons by the content of their character.
