What color was Hank when he was born?

Yesterday, we were driving to get school supplies and as you may know...a car ride always seems to spark interesting & thought provoking questions...usually they come from Hank but yesterday, the question came from my sweet Hannah. From the back, Torie & I hear, "when Hank was born, was he a different color?"...a bit of a pause from both Torie & I because I wasn't sure how to answer this question plus I was trying to figure out what sparked this question. During the pause, Hannah asked a follow up question..."was Hank yellow, brown, white?" So I went with a general response..."Hank was the same color he is today when he was born...white". And then Torie added when Hank was born, he was kinda yellow (jaundice) and had to be under the biliruben light. Of course, after that story, Hank thought that was cool and laughed. Gotta love those car rides...at least questions are much better than whining!
