So my Mum tells me that her grand uncle's son is coming over with his wife. Fine. When they come over my Mum goes to make them something to eat and this man starts saying "Oh I would never have recognised you if you had been walking on the street because you look fairer than I remember." Now I haven't seeen this man for maybe 6 years and that was for a short time at his Dad's funeral. I didn't recognise him either and certainly not his wife. I was just mortififed. I know part of it is the fact that I don't want anyone thinking I am lightening but I didn't understand what my colour had to do with anything. How about " how are you?" Maybe I am much lighter than I think but then this makes me worried that people may be asking questions
Got it off my chest now.
