life's little moments

Most people can't figure out what I am on sight. Most guesses don't even come close.

I'm African American.

Funny story regarding this...

After another fun night together, while I was driving her home, she told me (out of the blue) she could never be involved with a Black Man. Mildly amused I told her I was Black... and got the usual shocked expression I've grown used to when someone learns this.

Before I got her back to her place, I commented on this... saying I found it amusing that a Black Woman would have such an attitude, whereupon she informed me she wasn't Black.

First time I hit that ironic turn.

Back in the days I still had a photo of her on my mobile, on the few occasions this conversation came up with other friends, I showed them her photo and even they thought she was Black.

Not that it matters, but I sometimes regret not asking her what she actually is.

me, fran
