- my youngest son at 15 months upon seeing for the first time...

We were standing in line

At the pharmacy, my little

One in my arms while we

Waited.  All of a sudden,

My son's face and eyes all

Illuminated with the happiest

Surprise of his life, it looked,

Excitedly nodded and said,

With so much awe, it glowed:

"Chocolat, Maman ?

Chocolat ?", as soon as he

Noticed the cashier who had

The darkest black skin - and

She of course heard him.

I, shocked, wanted to melt

Into the floor right there,

'Cause it's not the reaction I

Could have even imagined,

But I could see the woman's

Shoulders going up and

Down from the giggles she

Was trying to keep discreet.
