Henry's best friend in school is an African-American boy with skin the color of a dark, shiny coffee bean. He and Henry adore each other. They are also about the same size, both very small-boned and petite in stature.
One day at lunch, a third boy looked back and forth between Henry and his friend and announced, "Henry, you look like TJ."
Henry replied, "Yeah, but he's brown and I'm beige."
How I love that the boys are so nonchalant over their skin color!
