When I was 4 years old I didn't think black people brushed their teeth. One day my mom was taking me to sunday school in church. As we were walking up the stairs we passed a black woman who sang in the choir. As my mom stopped to talk with her I spoke up (quite loudly): "Do black people brush their teeth?" My mom was quite embarrased and left in quite a hurrty appologizing to the woman. Lucky for us the lady thought it was 'cute' and wasn't bothered at all.
