Children often ask the purest, hardest questions. One day, little Holland looked up at her favorite waitress, Mrs. Cynthia, and innocently asked why her skin was so dark. Her mom held her breath, unsure how the question would be received.
But Mrs. Cynthia smiled, picked Holland up, and answered with warmth: “Because God made everyone different. Isn’t that wonderful?” Holland nodded happily, her eyes lighting up with joy. It wasn’t a lecture—it was love in its simplest form.
In that small exchange, an extraordinary friendship blossomed. What could have been an awkward moment became a life lesson in diversity, kindness, and acceptance. Sometimes, it only takes a sentence to teach a child—and remind adults—what really matters.
