Taking a break to enjoy some of this lovely weather we’re having today and had a chance to enjoy the following:
Two women walking in opposite directions cross paths. One stops the other in her tracks.
Young Woman 1: Wow, that’s a great tan! Were you on vacation, or use a salon?
Young Woman 2: Um… I’m black.
Young Woman 1: You totally are! So, was it like, Jamaica or something?
Young Woman 2: (Looks at Young Woman 1 with an expression that clearly screams “ARE YOU EFFING STUPID!” before stepping around her and keeps walking.)
Young Woman 1 (sees me trying not to giggle): What?
I turned and walked, away shaking my head. I swear, sometimes I love my city, for no other reasons than random moments just like this.

Raivenne-lations 
Bwah, ha, ha!!! Love it!! Thanks for the smile!!!
Raivenne – this is hysterical! I love moments like this. Have you ever seen the “Why Teachers Drink” website? Lots of moments like the one you described except they happen in the classroom. I love your sense of humor!
I wonder what would have happened had woman #2 been Bill Cosby instead. Some time ago, he did a commercial for one of the well-known suntan lotions, capitalizing on the fact that he’s black.
