Madisen dialogue



Ok. So last week when the Jazz were up 2 games to the Rockets, Jared and Madisen were watching the game. The Jazz had their "B" team in which is mostly black players. I was on the computer working on who knows what. Anyway - I overheard the following conversation:

Madisen: Daddy
Jared: Yes
Madisen: Do you have to be black to play basketball?
Jared: (Trying not to bust up laughing) No - why?
Madisen: It seems most of the players on the Jazz are black.
Jared: Some are, but there are other that are not.
Madisen: Like who - I don't see any playing right now.
Jared: (With a huge smile) Well, there is Harpring, A.K., Okur, Korver and Fesenko.
Madisen: But are the players that are black, are they better than the white players?
Jared: No, not necessarily.
Madisen: Then why are only black players playing right now.
Jared: I don't know, go ask your mother.

At this point I am practically rolling on the floor with laughter. Such an observate kid now, huh?
