A friend of mine got a call from a road tripping pal who ranted about a strange monument he had encountered in some nowhere town in Kansas – a monument to ‘the first white child born.’ For some reason I found myself wanting to see what this ridiculous monument could possibly look like – which leads to this google image search I now share with you (link) It turns out that the first white child born was a momentous occasion for many American burgs and townships.

Sure would like to know what the color of the other children were.
