9. One of my earliest memories is of
playing with a little white boy at a park on a beach when I was four. Our mothers were sitting at opposite sides of the park. At one point his mom came up to us to say she was ready to take him to the arcade across the street and asked if I wanted to come with them. I asked my mom and she said ok but he started insisting I couldn't have a white mom. His mom even asked if I was adopted and when I said no they started to walk away quickly.

It confused me then but I figured that they were the ones with the problem not me so it didn't bother me too much. At that age he had to have learned to act like that at home so I feel sorry for that boy.
