A conversation I don't want to forget

All last weekend I coached Emma to say “Albuquerque” and that daddy was going to Albuquerque for a few days and while he was there he would buy her presents.
Last Monday, as JMT was saying his goodbyes, this is the conversation that ensued…

JMT: I’m going away to Albuquerque, Emma. Do you know what that means?

Emma: You bwing me pwesents?

JMT: Yes, Emma. I bring you presents. What kind of presents do you want?

Emma: (matter-of-factly) A man.

JMT: (visibly startled): What kind of man?
Emma: (matter-of-factly) A black man.
