Flipping past the NFL games… Philadelphia vs. Washington

Julianna (she’s 10): Ooo, Daddy, which team do we want?

Me: I really don’t care, but I generally root against the Redskins.

J: That’s because it’s racist!

Me: Well, I was going to say that I prefer Baltimore. But, yes, some people think the name is racist. Not the people.

Isabella (she’s 7): Daddy? What’s “racist?”

Me: Man, I was just trying to find snowboarding or something.

J (teaching her little sister a valuable life lesson): Isabella, it’s when some people don’t like other people because of their skin color.

Iz: Well… That’s stupid. Why does that matter? Because, most of the players have black skin anyway. So, who cares about skin color?
