"Awe I wish they had a white baby, Mom, do you see any white babies"

I was appalled - immediately looking to the left and right thanking God there was no one in the isle. I told my husband and then thought...if there was a black person in the isle and I made eye contact with them, what would my reaction have been?

He says I would quietly apologize and say I didn't teach her that way.

But I don't know what I would have done. Shrugged and smiled? I'm sure my eyes would have been wide and maybe an uncomfortable smile. I have no idea. What would you do? Would you say anything?
