Not long ago my son saw a woman in a hijab. I don't live in a very diverse area so he hasn't had very much exposure to traditional muslim garb. He said kind of loudly "Look! Look! It's a ghost!". A little embarrasing but ok. We talked about it a few minutes later. On a different occasion he pointed to someone in a rascal or whatever and said "Daddy! His legs don't work. He broke a bone!". I had recently broken my leg and had to use one of those knee scooters to get around - and I had to use a rascal a couple of times (though I don't recall whether or not he was with me).

Anyways - Kids of a certain age don't understand much and will use what they know to describe the world around them. It's normal. Parents should just calmly describe the situation and let them know what's ok to say and what isn't.

Had a a sweet little white girl point at me and say “ look mom, it’s a Barbie doll, but chocolate flavored.” I couldn’t help but smile. Mom was mortified.

I wear cocoa butter and this little kid is sniffing my arm and says, " they really do smell like chocolate."
