Topsy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom%27s_Cabin#Topsy)
A "ragamuffin" young slave girl of unknown origin (she claims to have "just growed"). She was transformed by Little Eva's love. Topsy is often seen as the origin of the pickanniny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickanniny) stereotype of black children.
so the next time you think about saying that to your child maybe you will think twice (http://radioblogclub.com/search/0/jay_dee_think_twice) and recognize the power in words.
