Baby born. What color? Healthy girl.

My aunt – Irish/German ancestry married a Cape Verdean man. When they had their first child, my cousin, my grandfather didn’t ask if it was a boy or a girl – he wanted to know what color it was. That showed me more than anything the differences in generations – how a man born in 1912 and a girl born in 1963 could see the world so drastically different.
