"No, Tor, the tiger is supposed to be orange, not yellow!"

"But you don't have a orange crayon..." I trail off as I look at the wide assortment of colors that Cat has laid out on her living room floor.

"Then use a marker," She says as she hands me a thick orange Crayola marker.

"But then it'll bleed through the page and ruin the picture on the other side..."

"Just fix it."

"It won't work properly anyway because I colored the tiger in crayon and if I color over the crayon with the marker, it won't stay on the wax to well."

"Fine, but do the other ones properly."

"Okay..."


"Tor...elephants are not blueberry blue," Cat says in an unimpressed tone.

"Oh, come on! I don't have grey!"

"You could have used a pencil to shade it in..."

"It's not my fault! Why do you have such an incomplete set of crayons anyway?"

"My brother went into my room and took some of them."

"We'll why don't you ask him to give them back then?"

"I can't because he um...put them in a naughty place.."

"He put them—oh."

"Yeah...he even ate some of them. I tried that once, it didn't taste to good...it tasted like wax." Wow this is weird...

"But didn't you color a tiger purple once?," I ask with a raised brow.

"Don't know what you're talking about," she mumbles as she grabs a pink crayon and colors a flamingo. I just smirk and continue with coloring my elephant blueberry blue.
