one time i was with the kid i nanny and we drove past a black man walking up our street and he waved so i waved back. the kid then asked if that was my uncle. i have a black uncle that she’s met multiple times. i told her no that’s not my uncle. she then proceeds to ask if i was sure…yes i know what my uncle looks like, i have known that man since i was literally minutes old. she asked if we could turn around to make sure it wasn’t him. we’re both white and the kid is 3
she was concerned that he wanted to go to one of our houses and nobody was there (we’re neighbors) and i said if my uncle shows up to my house he’s allowed to let himself in. she was so concerned about him being all alone..i would’ve been more concerned with why was he walking up our street instead of driving
