One of the things that has always made me love raising my son in Portland is the diversity. I can count on one hand the number of non-caucasian kids that were in my graduating class on one hand. Thankfully I had a hippie for a mama who preached Love Everyone at every opportunity she got. So I do, and am so grateful for that.
Christian has friends of all ethnicities, backgrounds and cultures. And that makes my Hippie-On-The-Inside heart so happy. For the majority of his pre-school years he was the only caucasian boy at daycare. Between his dad and I, we expose him to a variety of people and lifestyles. He is what you would call very well rounded socially.
So when C and I were walking around our new neighborhood last weekend, and he said to me, “Mom! I think I saw Snoop Dogg back there!” after we passed a black gentleman who looked NOTHING like Snoop D-O-Double- G, I was floored! Shocked! In total disbelief that hed say this just because of the mans skin color. I mean he looked like Snoop in no way, shape or form! I reassured him that unfortunatley that was not Snoop Dogg, but yes, yes, that would be awesome if it was.
“And then Dr. Dre, and Flo Rider, and all of their other rapper friends could come visit Snoop, and we could go visit too!”
What an experience THAT would be! Lol as much as I’d love to meet me some Snoop, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want my 9 year old there. I wouldn’t be joining him in the green room, but I wouldn’t turn down a little Gin and Juice if it was offered!
Have I told you my Snoop joke? If I have, oh well, it will probably make you chuckle again. It makes laugh everytime I think of it!
Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? Anybody…anybody…?
Fo’ Drizzle!
Ahhh its good to laugh! Happy Friday, loves!
