Sugar?

Yesterday we were at Burger King and the kids were playing. Nathan usually makes friends with all the kids and especially likes playing with the bigger boys.
He came running up to me and told me that the two boys were being mean. I said, “I’m sure they are just playing, what are they doing that is mean?” He said they were calling him names. In order to grasp the full picture here, I have to tell you that the two other boys were hispanic. So Nay told me they were calling him “sugar.” And I laughed uncontrollably. I could be totally wrong, but I am assuming they were calling him sugar because he is so white and they were very brown. these boys were old enough to not be calling him that just being silly.
It was funny. I told Nathan that they must think he is really sweet because sugar is very sweet. So he ran off to play and not long after I noticed the boys’ dad giving them a stern talking to. And then Nay was playing by them again and I heard him say in a loud and accusing voice, “ICE CREAM!” I almost peed my pants. I guess since they called him sugar, he called them ice cream and thought he was really sticking it to them.
It was very funny.

LOL! I grew up with a Mexican dad and am pretty sure I remember being called sugar by some of the Mexican kids we hung out with. Me and my red headed brother were usually the only white kids around. I don’t think I ever called them Ice Cream though
hehehe
