for this, but here goes.
My DD2 (3) were queueing in a shop the other day when a black woman passed us and DD2 said to me 'There's a chocolate lady mummy'.
I was horrified and really shocked, we live in a City in the West Midlands fgs, so it's hardly the first black person she's ever seen. I have no idea where this expression came from. It's not one I've ever heard, let alone used.
I had a little talk to her about this, and I'm hoping that's the end of it. But I wondered (just in case she ever says it again, within earshot of the person this time) what on earth would I say? How would I explain it?
