BABIES AND ALIENS

By Martin Bihl

So I'm walking down Lex when I realize I'm surrounded
by about ten black women pushing strollers that have
white babies in them. And I say to myself, "If aliens
came down here right now, why wouldn't they think that
we start out pale, but then get darker as we age?" And
some other part of my brain answers, "Because planet
hopping aliens are probably smarter than you are."
