. What was Sweetness's initial emotional reaction when her daughter was born?

Sweetness was very dissapointed. “Sweetness” opens with Sweetness saying, “It’s not my fault. So you can't blame me.” Sweetness explains that her daughter Lula Ann was born with skin so dark that Sweetness was frightened. Sweetness comments that she and her husband are light-skinned, "high yellow" African Americans, so the midnight black of Lula Ann's skin makes no sense to her.
