Intimate Conversations
I have dark hair and I’m dark complected. My brother has blond hair and is very fair. In the summer, I tan very easily. I always have. My brother does not like to be in the sun much.
A few weeks ago, I stopped by his place and he looked at me and said “Have you been tanning?”, as if almost disgusted.
I replied “No.”
He said, accusingly, “Then why are you so dark??”
I replied “I’m always this dark you freakin’ albino!!”

Here we are in Cape Breton as wee ones. He blends right into his white hair.
