IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
One night, my eight-year-old son, Zakariya and I were scanning the TV listings for something to watch.
"Oooh, there's a beauty contest on," I said. Zakariya asked me what a beauty contest was and I explained that it was a contest to chose the most beautiful woman in the world.
Then my son thrilled me by asking, with complete sincerity, "Why aren't you in the contest, Mommy?"
