Growing up in the rural South there was a great deal of rascism. My mom told my sister that if she ate the pecans that still had the green out shell, they would make her turn into an african-american. Defiantly my sis kept playing with the green pecans from the big tree. That night, when she went to take her bath, the oils from the pecans and the water had a chemical reaction and her skin started turning brownish. In the midst of blood curling screams my mom ran to the bathroom to see what was wrong and there sat my sis hysterically covered in tears in the tub with black fingers. She never ate pecans again.
