My son hated to get dirty when he was little. When he was about 16 months old we went to the grocery store, and passed a black lady who stopped to speak with me and my son...when she spoke to him and reached out her hand to him, he looked at me and asked before taking her hand "dirty?". We laughed so hard we had to sit down.
