Feb 26, 2014: Guest post from Aunt Piggy

Aunt Piggy is my BFF.  She was the one who was 

On Valentine's Day, Ella and I had lunch together, and she asked me if I know who Jackie Robinson is. I said I do, which somehow segued into talk about meeting the president when you do something special, and US presidents past and future, and disrespecting people because of the color of their skin...

Me: "Where did you learn all this, Ella?"
E: "It's Black History Month." [Like, duh, Piggy.]
Me: "That's right... So how do you feel about that? About people being disrespected because of the color of their skin?"
E: "It's garbage."

Ella is eight. And amazing.
