skin color--- or lack thereof
All I ever really wanted in life was to have a tan--- a real tan. I don't want one with blistering, peeling, sweating, or even orangy tan-in-a-bottle lotion. I want a real-life, honest-to-goodness tan. It has never and will never happen. I'm pasty, or as my mother calls it, "pukey milky white". So why, I ask you, do both of my daughters have the color of skin that I've always wanted? It is some sort of punishment for me being envious of tanned people for all of these years? I guess so. :-( My girls will even make comments such as this--- "I'm sorry you're so white, Mama".
Nice.

They truly do have the most gorgeous complexions!! Don't worry, you are not alone. I'm so white and i never tan. I couldn't turn that beautiful color if God granted me one wish and that was what I asked for.
LOL. You do have some pretty beautiful kids with some gorgeous color!
If you move to Japan they will tell you how beautiful your white skin is. That's what happened to me when I lived there for six years. So, I decided that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder and God made us all special and unique, just like the colors of the rainbow. Now if someone makes a comment about me being pasty white, I correct them by saying, "No, I'm pearl white!" : ) My beautiful tan teenage Thai daughter envies my white skin. Funny how people want what they don't have!
