Brown Boy, Where are You?

As many of you know Dom is as white as can be and the cutest too. As a 4 year old having Aspergers he definately sees the world in a different way. This past week we headed over to the McDonalds on Holland Avenue which has an indoor playground. For those of you who are not from Albany, Holland Ave is by Albany Medical Center which is in a pretty busy downtown area and has mixed ethnicities (this will be helpful later). As we entered the McDonalds Dom was his usual shy self but after only one minute of asking him to go on the slide he went. He was having a blast and even met a "friend" The two of them were playing in the slides and i couldnt even seen them, but from what I heard they were having a blast. Then all of a sudden i hear Dom saying pretty loudly..."brown boy, brown boy, where are you? i can find you brown boy". As being a pretty white girl in an eating establishment with 80% minorities i was a little embarassed. But Dom kept on calling him brown boy, brown boy.......eventually when Dom came down from the slide, i told him that maybe he should just call him "boy" since he didnt know his name, so that worked out a bit better. It is pretty funny to understand how Dom sees things. Oh to be 4 again....
