When you are a parent of a baby, strangers will ask you all sorts of questions, wanting to know more about your cute baby. In some cases, these questions are harmless and may lead to knowing information such as your name or age. Then there are some questions you should never ask. This is something the mom in this YouTube video understands all too well.
As a Black woman who gave birth to a light-skinned baby, she has dealt with her fair share of people, both in person and online, who have had the audacity to ask questions like, “Is that really your baby?” Watch her YouTube video below to hear this mom answer these types of questions.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to understand something better, but there’s a difference between genuine curiosity and something harmful. Sometimes our questions are best kept for private searches on Google, rather than asking a stranger who doesn’t want to answer the same question from countless others. Not.
Speaking of which, if you’re still curious, here’s the short answer: This woman’s husband is white. Of course, there are longer explanations. tick tock
How were black parents able to have a white baby?
According to Miller, the genes that determine a person’s skin color are determined under “imperfect dominance.” This means that there are no specific traits that overpower the others. This means that mixed-race children’s skin color is mixed with that of their parents, with some leaning more toward one or the other.
At the end of the day, whatever the reason, one thing is for sure. I mean, this baby is really cute. Plus, it seems like she’s already proven to be pretty smart.
People posting in the comments were quick to point out that this mother’s little one seemed to understand what she was saying. This seemed especially true when she confirmed that her mother was not a fake baby. As if to confirm it for herself, the baby shook her head, “No!”
Above all, it’s clear that this baby, along with his other siblings, is very loved and cherished, and that’s what matters most.
