Story set up: Justin is a four year old with dirtaphobia and Taunja is his cousin who was adopted from India so her skin tone is dark
Story:
Happy to be leaving the church meeting Justin asks Taunja to give him five which she does. Afterwards she asks him to give her five and Justin stops. He takes a good look at her hands and says "Your hands are dirty." Then his eyes move up to her face and he says "Your face is dirty too." He refuses to give her five on account of her "dirty"/dark skin. Taunja laughs. What can you do? Yes, this is a true story about my little adopted brother and our cousin. When Taunja told me the story I just busted up laughing. Out of the mouth of babes.
