Umm, that's not the way she meant it, even though she's taught art through
her life, and both her and her late mother were night owl types. What she
meant was...
<anti-offending anyone script>
Story has it, that at the funeral of a great-great (...) grandmother
A black man showed up with a mulato child.
When asked why he was there, he said he
Had as much right, if not more right to be
There as anyone else. (Implying a relation to said deceased
Not that he had a right as any other person
Regardless of origin, etc. to be there).
</anti-offending anyone script>

That as well as looking at some photos of my grandmother as a child, you
wonder if she belongs to the same family as everyone else in the photo, with
her kinky hair and swarthy skin.

Please, please, please, no harm was intended or meant by the above, just
simply trying to clarify what I meant from earlier.

(Sheesh talk about feeling like walking on glass, and that's not even where
the damn name came from.) :^)
