What happened to "Why is the sky blue?"
Today my 4 year old son, Elijah asked me "Daddy, why do rappers love women?" Where did that come from? How does he know about rappers? and their "love" of women? Where do I start? I had no idea. I stumbled through a long drawn out intellectual discourse on race, class, sex and power, and threw in a gratuitous contrast to me and his moms relationship: Me, not being a rapper and loving 1 woman, his mom. Note to self: No more Snoop Dogg on the radio with the kids in the car, even if it's a "classic".
