I helped my 15 year old put up a "Black Lives Matter" yard sign the other day which prompted prompted my youngest to ask what it meant. I took a deep breath and tried to gently explain to my 7 year old what is happening in the world and what has been happening for far too long. When we were done she looked dead at me and said, "Seriously? It's just a skin color! They're just a little darker than us. Are you serious? What the heck is wrong with people?" She then got up and walked away, shaking her head and chuckling to herself as if to say "Stupid grown ups...what will these idiots come up with next?" I genuinely dont know if I did her any good or if she was already just fine without the rest of the world's crazy bullshit.
