This will sound awful, but here goes: Growing up in the south, especially in a small town, predjudice still runs wild. When I was about 2 years old, my mother and I were christmas shopping and I happened to see some old fashioned cream drops. (Big, chocolate covered super-sweet vanilla cream stuff, yum!)

Cream drops here are often called "n*gger toes." So here I am, innocent lil 2 year old, seeing candy I like, and I shouted,"I want some n*gger toes!"

The nice black lady next to my mom's cart just turned around and grinned, handing me a package of the candy while my mother turned 8 shades of crimson.

(Glad I never learned a difference in skin color. Some people are just darker than others, no big deal, but my mother has been telling that anecdote for as long as I can remember.)
